Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. It advances our understanding of how the nervous system develops, is structured, and what it does. This knowledge is used to treat, prevent, and cure diseases, injuries, and mental disorders. Neuroscientists use a range of techniques to research the nervous system, including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuropharmacology, neuroimaging, and electrophysiology. This understanding of the nervous system is providing insight into how the human mind works and will be invaluable in tackling neurological and psychiatric disorders.
