MolecularNeuroscience
Definition of MolecularNeuroscience as it relates to Science, Neuroscience, Chemistry
Molecular Neuroscience explores the chemical processes and components responsible for brain function at the molecular level, including how genes, proteins, receptors, and neurotransmitters interact to shape behavior, cognition, and neural circuits. By combining principles from chemistry, genetics, biochemistry, and cellular biology, this field contributes significantly to our understanding of neurological diseases, mental disorders, and pharmacological treatments for various conditions. It bridges the gap between neuroscience and chemistry within the Science hierarchy while focusing on the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying neural function.
