The nervous system in a biological system including the brain, spinal cord, and nerve networks that work to send messages throughout the body. Neuroscience is a scientific specialty focusing on the nervous system. Neurology is a field of medicine concerned with treating disorders of the nervous system.
Gene therapy holds potential for treating neurological diseases by delivering genetic information into specific cell types. However, selective and efficient targeting of cell types remains c...
