Neurological disorders can be precisely alleviated or reversed using optogenetic techniques and analysis of neural circuits, and this also illustrates the shortcomings of traditional pharmacological manners that target single molecular targets, such as GABA receptors with anti-anxiety and 5-HT receptors with antidepressants. While traditional psychotropic drugs are generally developed based on a single molecular target, modulating neural circuits and neural networks by neuropharmacology approaches is a challenge that pharmacology must f...
