Cellular / Molecular
Cellular/Molecular neuroscientists study how neurons control their excitable behaviour, how they receive and process incoming information, and how they communicate with other neurons via synapses.
Scientists in this field utilize a wide range of research technologies to decipher the molecular and biophysical basis of neuronal function, as well as the interplay between neurons and glial cells.
Cellular and molecular neuroscience research often links with other fields such as stem cell biology, and have implications for disease mechanisms in many nervous system disorders.
