Cellular Neuroscience

Cellular neuroscience studies the intricate workings of nerve cells, or neurons, which are the building blocks of the nervous system. It examines how these cells communicate through electrical signals and chemical neurotransmitters, which enables our brain and body to process information. Neurobiophysics combines principles of physics and biology to understand these processes at a molecular level, exploring how ion channels and membranes contribute to neuronal function. By investigating these mechanisms, cellular neuroscience helps clarify how we think, feel, and behave, linking cellular activities to our overall cognitive and sensory experiences.
