The field of cellular and systems neuroscience bridges the gap between molecular neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience by exploring how individual cells and their connections in the brain give rise to complex functions. At the cellular level, research focuses on understanding the roles of neurons, glial cells, and synaptic interactions in maintaining brain homeostasis and supporting learning and memory processes. On a broader scale, systems neuroscience investigates how these cellular interactions form integrated networks that govern sensory perception, motor coordination, decision-making, and emotions. This knowledge is pivotal for comprehending how dysfunctions in these networks lead to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, autism, and stroke. By combining advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing, neuroimaging, and computational modeling, this field is uncovering the dynamic relationships between cellular activities and systems-level behaviors.
