Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, encompassing the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It seeks to understand the structure and function of the nervous system at various levels, from molecular and cellular processes to systems-level interactions and behavior. Neuroscience integrates multiple disciplines, including biology, psychology, chemistry, physics, and medicine, to explore how neural circuits operate, how neurological disorders arise, and how the brain processes information, generates thoughts and emotions, and regulates behavior. The field aims to uncover the biological basis of cognition, perception, movement, and other functions, ultimately contributing to advances in treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
