The field of neuroscience deals with studying the nervous system, from neurons to behaviour, and calls upon a vast array of disciplines ranging from biology to chemistry, including mathematics and computer science. This field is diverse and can be broken down into several branches or sub-disciplines. Here are the main ones! Neurosciences called… “Molecular and cellular”
They study the biological mechanisms of the nervous system at their smallest scale, that of molecules and cells (neurons, glial cells, neurotransmitters, etc.). These basic elements of brain chemistry, however small, are involved in sensations, learning, memory and neurological pathologies. The neurochemistry of the brain, its growth and its capacity to process and integrate information are under the microscope of scientists.
