Over the past 20 years there have been amazing advances in our attempts to understand brain function, from the psychological to the molecular. ‘Neuroscience’ is the term used to describe the scientific study of the brain and nervous system and it is currently one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of scientific study.
Many methods are available when investigating the brain and some of the biggest recent developments involve techniques that permit structural and functional imaging of the nervous system at a cellular-, systems- and whole-brain level. Other advances have seen the development of techniques that allow us to make sense of neural signals in the brain.
