Recent Progress in Neuroscience - by Timothy Cairns (Hardcover)

About the Book

Neuroscience explores how our brains and nervous systems function, examining brain development, memory, emotions and learning processes. Using tools like brain imaging and genetic studies, scientists map out neural communication and function. They study neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and change throughout life, aiding in learning new skills or recovering from injuries. Research also focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, seeking treatments to slow their progression. Neuroscience spans biology, psychology, and medicine, providing insights into human behaviour and potential therapies. It drives innovations like brain-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence, advancing our grasp of consciousness and mental processes. By uncovering the brain's complexities, neuroscience enhances our understanding of how it shapes our experiences and behaviours, paving the way for future health and technological advancements. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to neuroscience. The various subfields of neuroscience along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. As this field is emerging at a fast pace, this book will help the readers to better understand the concepts of neuroscience.
