"Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions and disorders."
The study of the nervous system and the brain.
Neurons: Cells in the nervous system that transmit information.
Glia: Supportive cells in the nervous system that do not transmit information.
Neurotransmitters: Chemicals released by neurons to communicate with other neurons or cells.
Synapses: The structures where neurotransmitters are released and interact with other neurons or cells.
Action potentials: The electrical signals that neurons use to communicate with each other.
Brain regions: Different regions of the brain that are involved in different functions.
Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to change and adapt in response to experiences.
Learning and memory: The processes by which the brain acquires and retains information.
Sensory systems: The systems that allow the brain to receive and process information from the external world, including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
Motor systems: The systems that allow the brain to control movement.
Neurological disorders: Diseases and conditions that affect the nervous system, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy.
"It is a multidisciplinary science that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, psychology, physics, computer science, chemistry, medicine, statistics, and mathematical modeling."
"...to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons, glia and neural circuits."
"The understanding of the biological basis of learning, memory, behavior, perception, and consciousness has been described by Eric Kandel as the 'epic challenge' of the biological sciences."
"The scope of neuroscience has broadened over time to include different approaches used to study the nervous system at different scales."
"The techniques used by neuroscientists have expanded enormously, from molecular and cellular studies of individual neurons to imaging of sensory, motor and cognitive tasks in the brain."
