Cellular Neuroscience is the study of neural circuits at the level of individual neurons and their synapses, using molecular, biochemical, and genetic techniques to understand how these components interact to form functional networks. It encompasses research on the electrical properties of neurons, the mechanisms of neurotransmitter release and uptake, the organization and function of synapses, and the development and plasticity of neural circuits. As a subfield of Neural Networks within Neuroscience, it provides crucial insights into the fundamental building blocks of neural networks, informing our understanding of learning, memory, cognition, and behavior in both healthy and diseased states.
