Systems neuroscience is a subdiscipline of neuroscience and systems biology that studies the function of neural circuits and systems. It is an umbrella term, encompassing a number of areas of study concerned with how neuron nerve cells behave when connected together to form neural networks . At this level of analysis, neuroscientists study how different neural circuits analyze sensory information, form perceptions of the external world, make decisions, and execute movements. Researchers in systems neuroscience are concerned with the relation between molecular neuroscience molecular and cellular neuroscience cellular approaches to understanding brain structure and function, as well as with the study of high level mental functions such as cognitive linguistics language , memory , and Consciousness Cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience self awareness which are the purview of behavioral neuroscience behavioral and cognitive neuroscience cognitive neuroscience . Systems neuroscientists typically employ techniques for understanding networks of neurons while they function in vivo e.g. electrophysiology single or multi electrode recording , in vivo imaging, fMRI, PET . The term is commonly used in an educational framework a common sequence of graduate school neuroscience courses consists of cellular molecular neuroscience for the first semester, then systems neuroscience for the second semester. It is also sometimes used to distinguish a subdivision within a neuroscience department at an academic institution.

Instead of studying mental illness , positive neuroscientists focus on valued cognitive qualities that serve to enrich personal life and or society.

refimprove date May 2008 Sensory neuroscience is a subfield of neuroscience which explores the anatomy and physiology of neuron s that are part of sensory system s such as vision, hearing, and olfaction. Neurons in sensory regions of the brain respond to stimuli by firing one or more nerve impulses action potential s following stimulus presentation. How is information about the outside world encoded by the rate, timing, and pattern of action potentials? This so called neural code is currently poorly understood and sensory neuroscience plays an important role in the attempt to decipher it. Looking at early sensory processing is advantageous since brain regions that are higher up e.g. those involved in memory or emotion contain neurons which encode more abstract representations. However, the hope is that there are unifying principles which govern how the brain encodes and processes information. Studying sensory systems is an important stepping stone in our understanding of brain function in general. Typical experiments A typical experiment in sensory neuroscience involves the presentation of a series of relevant stimuli to an experimental subject while the subject s brain is being monitored. This monitoring can be accomplished by noninvasive means such as functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI or electroencephalography EEG , or by more invasive means such as electrophysiology ... neuroscience is to try to estimate the neuron s receptive field that is, to try to determine ... used to describe these receptive fields.

evolutionary biology Evolutionary neuroscience is an interdisciplinary Scientific method scientific research field that studies the evolution of nervous systems . Evolutionary neuroscientists attempt to understand the evolution and natural history of nervous system structure and function. The field draws on concepts and findings from both neuroscience and evolutionary biology . Historically, most empirical work has been in the area of Comparative biology comparative neuroanatomy , and modern studies often make use of phylogenetic comparative methods . Selection experiments and experimental evolution approaches are also being used more frequently. Conceptually and theoretically, the field is related to fields as diverse as comparative psychology , neuroethology , developmental neurobiology , evo devo , behavioral ecology , anthropology and evolutionary psychology . History The field began after the publication of Darwin s On the Origin of Species , but brain evolution was largely viewed at the time in relation to the incorrect scala naturae . The 1936 book The Comparative Anatomy of the Nervous System of Vertebrates was a landmark publication in the field. Following the Evolutionary Synthesis , the study of comparative neuroanatomy was conducted with an evolutionary view, and modern studies incorporate developmental genetics. ref cite journal last Northcutt first R.

Cellular neuroscience is the study of neuron s at a cellular level. This includes Morphology biology morphology and physiology physiological properties of single neurons. Several techniques such as intracellular recording, patch clamp, and voltage clamp technique, pharmacology, confocal imaging, molecular biology, two photon laser scanning microscopy and Ca sup 2 sup imaging have been used to study activity at the cellular level. Cellular neuroscience examines the various types of neurons, the functions of different neurons, the influence of neurons upon each other, how neurons work together.

Definition & Goals Visual Neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on the visual system of the human body, mainly located in the brain s visual cortex . The main goal of visual neuroscience is to understand how neural activity results in visual perception , as well as behaviors dependent on vison. In the past visual neuroscience has focused primarily on how the brain and in particular the Visual Cortex responds to light rays projected from static images and onto the retina . ref name refname4 While this provides a reasonable explanation for the visual perception of a static image, it does not provide a accurate explanation for how we perceive the world as it really is, an every changing, and ever moving 3 D environment. Face processing A recent study ref name refname5 using Event Related Potentials Event related potential ERP s linked a increased neural activity in the occipito temporal region of the brain to the visual categorization of facial expressions. ref name refname5 Results focus on a negative peak in the Event related potential ERP that occurs 170 milliseconds after the stimulus onset. ref name refname2 ref name refname8 This action potential , called the N170 was measured using electrodes in the occipito temporal region, an area already known to be changed by face stimuli. Studying by using the EEG , and Event related potential ERP methods allow for an extremely ... milliseconds.
