Behavioral Neuroscience

Behavioral Neuroscience focuses on how the brain and nervous system generate and regulate behavior. It examines the roles of neural circuits, neurotransmitters, and brain regions in shaping actions, emotions, and decision-making. Using methods such as brain imaging, electrophysiology, genetic techniques, and behavioral experiments, this field investigates processes like learning, memory, motivation, and emotional regulation. It also studies how these mechanisms change in developmental stages, aging, and disorders affecting the brain, aiming to connect biological function with patterns of behavior.
