About Neuroscience-based Nomenclature
The Neuroscience-based nomenclature (NbN) is an initiative aimed at updating the classification of psychiatric medication. NbN is updated yearly, equipping clinicians with the latest insights in neuroscience in a way that can be applied in prescribing on a daily basis.
The core principles of the NbN
To move from a disease-based classification to a pharmacology driven classification in order to shift from symptoms to mechanisms, from disease to pharmacology.
To open the gate to contemporary neuroscience insights and to incorporate recent findings in brain research to the classification of medications that are used to treat psychiatric disorders.
To replace 60 years old nomenclature of psychotropics with updated neuroscience-based nomenclature (NbN).
To provide an important teaching tool that presents the depths and richness of the neuroscience fabric of psychotropics.
