Introduction to brain science:

Brain science, in a narrow sense, is the study of understanding the changes of molecules, cells and cells in the nervous system and the integration of these processes in the central functional control system. (American Society for Neuroscience) The broad definition is the science that studies the structure and function of the brain, including cognitive neuroscience.

The ultimate goal of cognitive neuroscience is to clarify the structure and function of the human brain, as well as the material basis of human behavior and psychological activities, to clarify its mechanisms at all levels (levels), to improve the efficiency of human neural activities, and to improve the service level of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of nervous system diseases. Basic objectives:

1. Reveals various connection forms between neurons, laying a foundation for clarifying the brain mechanism of behavior.

2. Identify the morphological and chemical differences of neurons, and understand how neurons generate and conduct signals, and how these signals change the activities of target cells.

3. Explain the special cellular and molecular biological characteristics of neurons.

4. Understand the neural circuit foundation for realizing various functions of the brain (including advanced functions).

5. Clarify the etiology and mechanism of nervous system diseases and explore new treatment methods.
