neurocientíficos

Neurocientíficos are scientists who study the nervous system. This broad field encompasses the structure, function, development, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology of the nervous system. Neuroscientists seek to understand how the brain and nervous system work, from the molecular level of individual neurons to the complex networks that underlie cognition, emotion, and behavior.

The discipline of neuroscience is interdisciplinary, drawing on knowledge and techniques from biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, computer science, engineering, medicine, and philosophy. Neuroscientists investigate a wide range of phenomena, including learning and memory, sensory perception, motor control, sleep, consciousness, and neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Research in neuroscience employs various methods, such as molecular biology techniques, electrophysiology, neuroimaging (like fMRI and EEG), computational modeling, and behavioral experiments. The ultimate goal of neuroscience is to unravel the mysteries of the brain, improve treatments for neurological and mental health conditions, and enhance human understanding of ourselves.
