Neural coding is a field of neuroscience that aims to understand how the nervous system encodes and processes information. It involves studying how individual neurons or groups of neurons in the brain represent and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. Neural coding research often involves recording the electrical activity of neurons to decipher the patterns of activity that correspond to specific sensory stimuli or cognitive processes. This area of research is crucial for understanding how the brain processes information such as sensory input, motor control, decision-making, and memory formation. By uncovering the mechanisms of neural coding, researchers hope to gain insights into how the brain functions and how neurological disorders can be treated.
