Behavioral Pharmacology: History and Current Status

Abstract

Abstract: As a branch of pharmacology，behavioral pharmacology has been stepping into its 50s. Since the publication of the hallmark paper of this field in 1955，behavioral pharmacology has seen a steady，vibrant and healthy development. This review traced back into 1950s，summarizing the major events during the history of behavioral pharmacology，and discuss the current status in this field. The paper also discussed several issues related to behavioral pharmacology research.

Key words: Behavioral pharmacology, history, current status
