Neurobiological research

Neurobiological research studies the brain and nervous system to understand how they function and influence behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Scientists examine the structure, chemistry, and electrical activity of neurons (nerve cells) and how they connect to form networks. This research helps us understand normal brain processes and what goes wrong in conditions like depression, Alzheimer’s, or schizophrenia. By uncovering these mechanisms, neurobiology advances treatments, improves diagnostics, and deepens our knowledge of human cognition and mental health, ultimately contributing to better healthcare and understanding of ourselves.
