BRANCHES OF NEUROSCIENCE!!! The major branches of modern neuroscience The following branches of neuroscience, based on research areas and subjects of study can be broadly categorized in the following disciplines (neuroscientists usually cover several branches at the same time): Affective neuroscience – in most cases, research is carried out on laboratory animals and looks at how neurons behave in relation to emotions. Behavioral neuroscience – the study of the biological bases of behavior. Looking at how the brain affects behavior. Cellular neuroscience – the study of neurons, including their form and physiological properties at cellular level. Clinical neuroscience – looks at the disorders of the nervous system, while psychiatry, for example, looks at the disorders of the mind. Cognitive neuroscience – the study of higher cognitive functions that exist in humans, and their underlying neural bases. Cognitive neuroscience draws from linguistics, neuroscience, psychology and cog...

WHAT IS NEUROSCIENCE πππππ neu·ro·sci·ence Λn(y)o͝orΕΛsΔ«Ιns/ noun any or all of the sciences, such as neurochemistry and experimental psychology, which deal with the structure or function of the nervous system and brain. Neuroscience, also known as Neural Science, is the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions. Not only is neuroscience concerned with the normal functioning of the nervous system, but also what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Neuroscience is often referred to in the plural, as neurosciences. Neuroscience has traditionally been classed as a subdivision of biology. These days, it is an interdisciplinary science which liaises closely with other disciplines, such as mathematics, linguistics, engineering, computer science, chemistry, philosophy, psychology, and medicine.

INTRODUCTION TO NEUROSCIENCE- A SMALL PATHWAY TO BRAIN π§ Neuroscience is the study dedicated to understanding the nervous system and its core part, the brain. This research is conducted at multiple levels, from molecular synapses and cellular networks to cognition and behavior. To this end, research and research methods are derived from a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, biomedicine, behavioral science, cognitive psychology, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Neuroscientists study how cellular circuits enable us to read and speak, how we connect with other people, how we learn and retain information, We want to understand how we experience pain and how we experience motivation. They also want to understand the causes of devastating diseases of the brain and body and find ways to prevent or treat them. Although remarkable progress has been made, we still do not fully understand how the brain ...
