Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the study of the brain and the rest of the nervous system. It looks at the biology behind everyday experiences like remembering a name, learning a skill, feeling anxious, or deciding what to do next.

This glossary covers brain anatomy, nerve cells and the chemicals they use to communicate, along with learning, memory, sleep, stress, and hormones. It also covers research tools such as EEG and fMRI, which let scientists study different aspects of brain activity.
