Biological Neuroscience

Biological neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system's structure and function, particularly the brain and spinal cord. It explores how neurons (nerve cells) communicate through electrical and chemical signals to process information, control behaviors, and enable thoughts, emotions, and sensations. This field combines biology, chemistry, psychology, and medicine to understand how the nervous system develops, operates, and sometimes malfunctions. By uncovering the biological foundations of neural processes, neuroscience helps in diagnosing, treating, and potentially preventing neurological and mental health disorders.
