Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience focuses on the fundamental biological mechanisms that underlie nervous system development, function, and disease. Research in this field investigates the structure, signaling pathways, and molecular interactions within neurons, glial cells, and neural circuits. Topics include synaptic transmission, neurogenesis, axonal guidance, ion channel dynamics, neurotransmitter systems, intracellular signaling cascades, and gene expression regulation in neural cells. The field also explores how molecular and cellular alterations contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, as well as how these insights can inform therapeutic strategies. Cutting-edge techniques such as molecular imaging, electrophysiology, gene editing, and omics approaches are often employed to unravel the complexities of neural function at the smallest scales
