Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that studies the nervous system. It looks at thought, emotion, and behavior using highly sophisticated technology such as brain-scanning devices that monitor the brain in real time, along with computer models and other techniques that measure chemical changes.

The Brain

The brain is made up of about 100 billion neurons that transmit chemical and electrical signals and form networks. Signals are sent out when the neuron reacts to a stimulus by sending an electrical signal from one end of the cell to the other where it fires a chemical across a tiny gap, known as a synapse, to another neuron. The synapses are where much of the action takes place in your brain. These chemicals, which carry messages, are called neurotransmitters and cross the synapse from one neuron to another.
