Presentation Detail: This lecture is designed to give the equine veterinary practitioner a basic understanding of how the brain can be influenced by psychopharmacological and other interventions to facilitate desirable behaviour change in horses. Although only a veterinarian can diagnose and treat medical conditions in animals, it will be of interest to equine behaviour practitioners as well. As although non-veterinarians may not diagnose and prescribe medical conditions in animals, it is important than equine behaviour practitioners have an understanding of these matters.
