Molecular Neurobiology
Molecular neurobiology is a branch of neuroscience that studies the molecular basis of physiology and disease within the nervous system. This dynamic, multi-disciplinary field encompasses a wide range of topics including genetics, chemical and electrical signaling, development of the nervous system, and how neural circuits process information.
