Biology of Cognition

Biology of cognition explores how the brain and nervous system enable thinking, learning, memory, and perception. It examines how neurons (brain cells) communicate through electrical and chemical signals to process information. This complex network supports mental functions by integrating sensory input, generating ideas, and guiding behavior. Factors like brain structure, neurotransmitters, and genetics influence cognitive abilities. Understanding this biological framework helps us see how our minds work at a cellular level, revealing the intricate link between biology and mental processes essential for everyday functioning.
