"Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions and disorders."
Study of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system, and its interactions with other systems of the body.
Neuroanatomy: The study of the structure and function of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, neurons, and other tissues.
Neurophysiology: The study of the electrical and chemical processes that enable communication among neurons and other cells of the nervous system.
Neurodevelopment: The study of how the brain develops from embryonic stages to adulthood, including the role of genes, environmental factors, and experience.
Neural plasticity: The ability of the brain to adapt and change in response to experience, injury, or disease.
Neurochemistry: The study of the chemical processes and substances that regulate the activity of neurons and other cells in the nervous system.
Sensory systems: The study of how the brain processes information from the environment, including sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
Motor control: The study of how the brain controls movement, including the role of the motor cortex and other brain regions.
Neuropsychology: The study of how cognitive functions such as memory, language, and attention are affected by brain damage or disease.
Neuropharmacology: The study of how drugs affect the activity of neurons and other cells in the nervous system.
Systems neuroscience: The study of how different regions of the brain interact to control behavior and cognition.
Brain imaging: The use of technology such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) to visualize the structure and function of the brain.
Neural engineering: The study of how to design and develop technologies that interact with the nervous system, including prosthetic devices and brain-computer interfaces.
Clinical neuroscience: The application of neuroscience research to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson's disease.
Neurological physical therapy: This type of physical therapy focuses on the rehabilitation of individuals with conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease. Neurological physical therapists treat their patients by improving their motor function, sensation, balance, mobility, and strength, among other things.
Vestibular rehabilitation: This type of physical therapy focuses on treating individuals with disorders related to the inner ear and balance, such as vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Vestibular physical therapists work to improve the patient's balance, posture, and mobility.
Concussion management: This type of physical therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of individuals who have experienced a concussion. Concussion management physical therapists work to improve symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties through specific exercises and protocols.
Orthopedic physical therapy: This type of physical therapy focuses on the rehabilitation of individuals with musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, or back pain. Orthopedic physical therapists use different physical therapy techniques such as manual therapy, exercise, and modalities to help individuals return to their daily tasks and activities.
Pediatric physical therapy: This type of physical therapy focuses on the evaluation and treatment of children with developmental disorders, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or muscular dystrophy. Pediatric physical therapists work with children to develop their gross motor, fine motor, and sensory skills while considering their age, development, and interests.
"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."
