ABSTRACT: Background/objectives
Drug development involves multiple stages, spanning from initial discovery to clinical trials. This intricate process entails understanding disease mechanisms, identifying potential drug targets, and evaluating the efficacy and safety of candidate drugs. Clinical trials are designed to assess the effects of drugs on humans, focusing on determining safety profiles, appropriate modes of administration, and comparative efficacy against placebos. Notably, neuroscience drug development encounters distinct challenges, including the complex nature of diseases, limitations imposed by the blood-brain barrier, the absence of reliable predictive preclinical models, and regulatory hurdles. Ethical and safety considerations are pivotal due to the potential cognitive and mo
