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.

Neuroscientists focus primarily on the study and research of the nervous system. The nervous system is composed of the brain , spinal cord and nerve cells. Studies of the nervous system may focus on the cellular level, as in studies of the ion channels , or instead may focus on a systemic level as in behavioural or cognitive studies.
Developmental neuroscience is devoted entirely to the study of developmental processes in the brain, and primarily during the prenatal period. Developmental cognitive neuroscience, on the other hand, is concerned with interrelations between psychological and biological development.
Clinical neurophysiology is a medical specialty that studies the central and peripheral nervous systems through the recording of bioelectrical activity, whether spontaneous or stimulated. It encompasses both research regarding the pathophysiology along with clinical methods used to diagnose diseases involving both central and peripheral nervous ...
Neuropharmacology is the study of how drugs affect function in the nervous system, and the neural mechanisms through which they influence behavior. [1] There are two main branches of neuropharmacology: behavioral and molecular.
