Brain Science

Brain science, also known as neuroscience, is the multidisciplinary study of the structure, function, development, genetics, and biochemistry of the nervous system, particularly the brain. It encompasses a variety of disciplines including biology, psychology, medicine, and cognitive science to understand how the brain works, how it influences behavior and cognition, and how neurological diseases and disorders affect brain function. Researchers in brain science investigate aspects such as neural networks, brain activity, neurotransmitter functions, and the impacts of external factors like stress and environment on neural processes. The goal of brain science is to gain insights into brain functionality, ultimately aiming to improve mental health, treat neurological conditions, and enhance cognitive abilities.
