Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It encompasses various disciplines, such as neurobiology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, and neuroanatomy. Neuroscience seeks to understand how the nervous system functions, how it gives rise to thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how it may be affected in various neurological and psychiatric conditions. Advances in neuroscience have contributed to significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders and mental health conditions.
