Frequently Asked Questions
What does a neuroscientist do?+
A neuroscientist is a scientist who studies the nervous system, especially the brain, to learn how we think, learn, remember, and feel. They use science to understand how the brain works.
How do neurons send messages in the brain?+
Neurons send messages by creating an electrical spark called an action potential that travels down their axon, then releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters at a synapse. These chemicals bind to receptors on the next neuron and change its activity.
Why do neuroscientists study the brain?+
Neuroscientists study the brain to discover how it makes us think, feel, and act, and to find ways to treat brain problems like Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and mental health disorders.
How has neuroscience helped medicine?+
Neuroscience research has led to new medicines and treatments for diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, and it also helps doctors diagnose and care for people with brain disorders.
What tools do neuroscientists use to look at the brain?+
Neuroscientists use tools such as microscopes, imaging machines, and other technologies to look at the brain’s structure and activity, helping them learn how it works.
