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 neural systems, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neural activity, and the processes underlying behavior, cognition, emotion, and perception. Neuroscience integrates various disciplines including biology, psychology, chemistry, and computer science to explore how neural networks and circuits contribute to the functioning of the nervous system. It also examines the impact of neurological disorders, mental health issues, and the effects of experiences on brain function and development.
