Study Notes
Molecular Neuroscience
- Focuses on the study of the nervous system at the molecular level, examining the structure and function of molecules involved in neural processes.
Nervous System Components
- The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes nerves that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body.
Nervous System Organization
- The three imaginary lines through the nervous system are sagittal, frontal, and horizontal planes, which help to divide the nervous system into different regions for study.
Building Blocks of the Nervous System
- The basic building block of the nervous system is the neuron, a specialized cell that transmits and processes information.
Branches of Neuroscience
- The branch of neuroscience that focuses on thinking, learning, and memory is cognitive neuroscience.
