Clinical neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on the scientific study of fundamental mechanisms that underlie diseases and disorders of the brain and central nervous system. [1] It seeks to develop new ways of conceptualizing and diagnosing such disorders and ultimately of developing novel treatments.
A neuroscientist (or neurobiologist) is a scientist specializing in neuroscience that deals with the anatomy and function of neurons, neural circuits, and glial cells, and their behavioral, biological, and psychological roles in health and disease.
Cognitive neuroscience is an interdisciplinary area of study that has emerged from neuroscience and psychology. [4] There are several stages in these disciplines that have changed the way researchers approached their investigations and that led to the field becoming fully established.
Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at New York University.The author of two books about anxiety and cognitive health, she’s also an expert on ...
“The brain is like a supercomputer,” says neuroscientist Tara Tracy, Ph.D., assistant professor and a specialist in neurological decline at the Buck Institute. “And the circuits within the ...
Cognitive psychologists and clinical neuropsychologists developed more research collaborations to gain a better understanding of these disorders. The rebirth of neuropsychology was marked by the publishing of two seminal collaborative papers from Marshall & Newcombe (1966) on reading and Warrington & Shallice (1969) on memory. [6]
It must be noted that many neuroscientists believe that MacLean's theory of the Triune Theory is false, however, what is a mutual agreement between the majority of neuroscientists, is that the features that McLean has described of the neomammalian brain is the reason as to why humans have such a high-level order of thinking. [4]
Some neuroscientists believe that clearing this plaque could be the key to, if not curing Alzheimer’s, at least slowing its progression. A trial of aducanumab showed that it helps reduce amyloid ...
