Neurophysiology is the study of the function of the nervous system, typically focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neural activity and communication. This field examines how neurons generate and transmit electrical signals, as well as how these signals are integrated and processed in neural circuits. Researchers in neurophysiology often use techniques such as electrophysiology, imaging, and molecular biology to investigate the mechanisms of neural function and dysfunction, with the goal of better understanding various neurological disorders and developing new treatments.
