Neuroscientists are scientists who study the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use a range of techniques and tools to study the brain from both a molecular and systems perspective. They can use biochemical and molecular studies to investigate how our brain cells work, from the behavior of individual neurons to complex structures such as the hippocampus. They can use electrophysiology to measure the electrical activity of neurons, to understand their role in sensory and motor systems. Neuroscientists also use imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fMRI to study the structure and function of the brain. The goal of neuroscience is to understand how the nervous system works, from the single neuron to the highest level of cognitive processing. Neuroscientists work to advance our understanding of the brain, from normal functioning to brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, autism, and schizophrenia. By studying the brain, neuroscientists hope to better understand how the nervous system works and how it can be manipulated to treat or prevent disease. Neuroscientists also seek to apply scientific theories and principles to real-world questions. For example, a neuroscientist may study how humans interact in social situations, how different drugs influence neuronal circuits, or how people remember old experiences and create new ones. By investigating these questions, neuroscientists may ultimately be able to develop treatments or cures for a variety of neurological disorders. Neuroscience is a rapidly growing field, and the number of neuroscience researchers is increasing worldwide. In some countries, there are now universities and research institutes dedicated solely to the study of neuroscience. Neuroscientists benefit from the collaboration of scientists from various disciplines, including doctors, physiologists, and engineers. The knowledge these various disciplines bring helps neuroscientists forge successful collaborations, a crucial part of making progress in this field.
