Overview

Neurobiology is the branch of biology concerned with the structure, function, development, and physiology of the nervous system, from individual molecules and cells to circuits, systems, and behavior. It examines the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, investigating how neurons and glia generate and transmit signals, how synapses form and adapt, and how networks give rise to perception, cognition, emotion, and action. The discipline spans multiple levels of analysis, including molecular and cellular neurobiology, which addresses gene expression, neurotransmitters and their receptors, and signaling pathways; systems neurobiology, which studies functional connectivity and the coordinated activity of distributed networks; and developmental and evolutionary neurobiology, which considers how nervous systems are built and how they change across the lifespan and across species. Topics range from the neurochemical regulation of states such as fear and anxiety, including the roles of specific neuropeptides, to the network changes underlying neurodegeneration and altered states of consciousness and perception. Neurobiology integrates experimental and theoretical methods, drawing on molecular biology, electrophysiology, imaging, and computational modeling to relate mechanism to function. By linking the operation of cells and circuits to behavior and disease, it provides the foundation for understanding both normal nervous-system function and the basis of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
