Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology

Cellular and molecular neurobiology studies how nerve cells (neurons) function at a detailed level, focusing on their structure, communication, and behavior. It examines the tiny parts inside neurons, like proteins and genes, and how they enable neurons to transmit signals, process information, and adapt. This field helps us understand how the brain and nervous system develop, how they control body functions, and what goes wrong in neurological diseases. Overall, it uncovers the fundamental biological mechanisms that underpin thoughts, feelings, movements, and sensations.
