Human physiology is the study of how living organisms, including humans, function at both the molecular and cellular level as well as at the level of tissues, organs, and organ systems. In the context of neurology, human physiology focuses specifically on the functioning of the nervous system and its various components such as neurons, glial cells, and neurotransmitters. Researchers in this field may investigate topics ranging from the electrical properties of nerve cell membranes to the complex neural networks involved in behavior and cognition. Human physiology is thus a critical component of our understanding of neurological disorders and diseases, as well as their potential treatments and cures.
