Synthetic Neurobiology

Synthetic neurobiology is an interdisciplinary field that combines engineering, biology, and neuroscience to design and build artificial or modified neural systems. It aims to understand how the brain works by creating synthetic components like engineered neurons, circuits, or modulatory systems, which can be used to study neural functions, develop new therapies, or build brain-inspired technologies. Essentially, it involves programming and manipulating nervous system elements to explore brain principles or develop innovative solutions for neurological disorders and advanced bio-inspired devices.
