Outline of neuroscience

Outline of neuroscience
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to neuroscience:
Neuroscience is the scientific study of the structure and function of the nervous system. It encompasses the branch of biology that deals with the anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology of neurons and neural circuits. It also encompasses cognition, and human behavior. Neuroscience has multiple concepts that each relate to learning abilities and memory functions. Additionally, the brain is able to transmit signals that cause conscious/unconscious behaviors that are responses verbal or non-verbal. This allows people to communicate with one another.
Branches of neuroscience
Neurophysiology
Neurophysiology is the study of the function (as opposed to structure) of the nervous system.
Brain mapping
Electrophysiology
Extracellular recording
Intracellular recording
Brain stimulation
Electroencephalography

Neuroanatomy
Neuroanatomy is the study of the anatomy of nervous tissue and neural structures of the nervous system.

Neuropharmacology
Neuropharmacology is the study of how drugs affect cellular function in the nervous system.
Drug
Psychoactive drug
Anaesthetic
Narcotic
Behavioral neuroscience
Behavioral neuroscience, also known as biological psychology, biopsychology, or psychobiology, is the application of the principles of biology to the study of mental processes and behavior in human and non-human animals.
Neuroethology
Developmental neuroscience
Developmental neuroscience aims to describe the cellular basis of brain development and to address the underlying mechanisms. The field draws on both neuroscience and developmental biology to provide insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which complex nervous systems develop.
Aging and memory
Cognitive neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience is concerned with the scientific study of biological substrates underlying cognition, with a focus on the neural substrates of mental processes.
Neurolinguistics
Neuroimaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging
Positron emission tomography
Systems neuroscience
Systems neuroscience is a subdiscipline of neuroscience which studies the function of neural circuits and systems. It is an umbrella term, encompassing a number of areas of study concerned with how nerve cells behave when connected together to form neural networks.
Neural oscillation
Molecular neuroscience
Molecular neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that examines the biology of the nervous system with molecular biology, molecular genetics, protein chemistry and related methodologies.
Nutritional neuroscience
Neurochemistry
Computational neuroscience
Computational neuroscience includes both the study of the information processing functions of the nervous system, and the use of digital computers to study the nervous system. It is an interdisciplinary science that links the diverse fields of neuroscience, cognitive science and psychology, electrical engineering, computer science, physics and mathematics.
Neural network
Neuroinformatic
Neuroengineering
Brain–computer interface
Mathematical neuroscience
Neurophilosophy
Neurophilosophy or "philosophy of neuroscience" is the interdisciplinary study of neuroscience and philosophy. Work in this field is often separated into two distinct approaches. The first approach attempts to solve problems in philosophy of mind with empirical information from the neurosciences. The second approach attempts to clarify neuroscientific results using the conceptual rigor and methods of philosophy of science.
Philosophy of mind
Neuroethics
Neuroscience of free will
Neurology
Neurology is the medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system. It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems.
Stroke
Parkinson's disease
Alzheimer's disease
Huntington's disease
Multiple sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Rabies
Schizophrenia
Epilepsy
Hydrocephalus
Brain damage
Traumatic brain injury
Closed head injury
Coma
Paralysis
Level of consciousness
Neurosurgery
Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology studies the structure and function of the brain related to psychological processes and behaviors. The term is used most frequently with reference to studies of the effects of brain damage in humans and animals.
