Neurotools
Neurotools refers to a broad category of technologies, software, and experimental techniques used to study the brain and nervous system. These tools are essential for neuroscientists seeking to understand brain structure, function, and behavior at various levels, from molecular to systems. The development and application of neurotools have significantly advanced our comprehension of neurological disorders and the fundamental mechanisms of cognition.
One major class of neurotools involves imaging techniques. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI)
Beyond imaging, neurotools encompass methods for manipulating neural activity. Optogenetics, for instance, uses light to control
Computational neuroscience also plays a crucial role, with software and algorithms used to analyze vast datasets
