Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, encompassing the structure, function, development, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system. It integrates principles from various fields such as biology, psychology, medicine, and engineering to understand how the brain and nervous system operate, how they influence behavior, cognition, and emotions, and how they respond to injury and disease. Neuroscience seeks to uncover the mechanisms underlying neural processes, touching on topics such as neuroplasticity, neuropharmacology, and the interplay between neural circuits and behavior, making it a vital field for advancing our understanding of both normal and abnormal brain functions.
