Neuroscience is the study of:
* the nervous system
* how the brain works
* how cells interact to control behaviour
Research in neuroscience tries to better understand the structure of the nervous system. It explores how it:
* works
* develops
* malfunctions
* can be manipulated
We aim to develop more effective treatment of diseases such as:
* stroke
* neurodegenerative disease
* mental illness
