"Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions and disorders."
Study of the structure and function of the brain and nervous system in relation to mental health and behavior.
Basic Neuroanatomy: Understanding the structure and organization of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Neuron Structure and Function: The building blocks of the nervous system, how they communicate with each other, and their role in the brain’s processing and integration of information.
Neurochemistry: Studying the chemical signals and molecular mechanisms underlying neural messaging and synaptic plasticity.
Neurophysiology: The physiological functions, as well as the electrical and chemical signaling mechanisms, that govern sensory, motor, and cognitive processes.
Neuropharmacology: The interaction between drugs and the nervous system on chemical and electrical signaling, neurotransmitter release and uptake, ion channel activity, etc.
Neuroimaging Techniques: Non-invasive diagnostic methods for mapping the structure and activity of the brain, including MRI, CT, PET, EEG, fMRI.
Neurocognition and Behavior: Exploring the neural basis of cognition, emotion, perception, memory, learning, language, consciousness, and decision-making.
Neuropsychology: The study of the relationship between brain function and behavior, specifically the effects of brain injury, disease, or dysfunction on cognitive, emotional, and social abilities.
Neural Development: The formation, growth, and differentiation of nerve cells, including their migration, differentiation, and maturation.
Neural Plasticity: The capacity of the nervous system to adapt and change in response to experience, injury, or disease, including developmental processes, injury recovery, and learning and memory processes.
Neurological Disorders: Common neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, and epilepsy, and their underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
Psychiatry and Mental Illness: Exploring the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and addiction.
Neural Engineering: The use of technology to interface with or manipulate the nervous system, such as neuroprosthetics, brain-computer interfaces, and deep brain stimulation.
Behavioral Neurobiology: It focuses on the connection between the brain and behaviors, including eating, emotions, and mating.
Cognitive Neuroscience: It deals with the study of the neural mechanisms responsible for cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, language, and problem-solving.
Developmental Neurobiology: It concentrates on the study of the modification of the nervous system during the different periods of development, such as embryonic, early postnatal, and adolescent periods.
Molecular Neurobiology: It is the study of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms behind neuron function and communication.
Neuropsychology: It refers to the study and assessment of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning in individuals with neurological disorders or injury.
Neuroanatomy: It is the study of the structure and organization of the nervous system.
Neuroethology: It investigates the relationship between behavior and evolution by studying the neural basis of animal behavior.
Neurogenetics: It explores the genetic basis of the development and functioning of the nervous system.
Neuroimmunology: It studies the interaction between the immune system and the nervous system.
Neuropharmacology: It examines the effects of drugs on the nervous system.
Neurophysiology: It is concerned with the study of the electrical and biochemical activity of neurons and their networks.
Neuroplasticity: It studies the changes in the structure and function of the brain and nervous system in response to experience and environmental stimulation.
Psychopharmacology: It examines the effects of drugs on the brain and behavior, including their use in treating mental illnesses.
Sensory Neuroscience: It deals with the study of the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of sensory stimuli such as light, sound, and touch.
Social Neuroscience: It focuses on the neural basis of social behavior, including social cognition, empathy, and decision-making.
Systems Neuroscience: It investigates the complex organization of neural circuits that underlie behavior.
