Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system which integrates anatomy, physiology, developmental biology, molecular biology, psychology, mathematical modeling and cytology to understand the functioning of neurons and neural circuits. Such investigations are furthered by cellular and molecular studies of individual neurons, and imaging of sensory motor tasks occurring in the brain. Progress in the fields of electrophysiology, molecular biology and computational neuroscience have advanced the frontiers of neuroscience. Such studies are particularly significant in the medical sciences such as psychosurgery, neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, etc. as they allow the diseases of the nervous system to be directly addressed. Psychiatry focuses on the management of behavioral, cognitive, affective and perceptual disorders, while neurology focuses on the conditions of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of neuroscience. It unravels the recent studies in brain exploration. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
