Neuroscience

Neuroscience, a multidisciplinary field, is a kind of science focused on the study of the nervous system. It is integrated numerous perspectives from biology, psychology, and medicine, and consists of several sub-fields ranging from the study of neurochemicals to the study of behavior and thought. As an antibody provider with a wide range of coverage, Creative Biolabs offers high-quality neuroscience-related products to aid your research.

Background

Neuroscientific research mainly may focus on two points. One is understanding the human brain and how it regulates the body and behavior, including giving rise to consciousness, another is finding ways to prevent or cure neurological and psychiatric disorders. Modern neuroscience has major branches, which including but not limited following:

• Affective neuroscience - in most cases, research is carried out on laboratory animals and looks at how neurons behave in relation to emotions.
• Behavioral neuroscience - the study of the biological bases of behavior. Looking at how the brain affects behavior.
• Cellular neuroscience - the study of neurons, including their form and physiological properties at cellular level.
• Developmental neuroscience - looks at how the nervous system develops on a cellular basis; what underlying mechanisms exist in neural development.
• Molecular neuroscience - the study of the role of individual molecules in the nervous system.

Research Area of Neuroscience in Different Species

• Zebrafish

As a popular novel model in translational neuroscience research, both larval and adult zebrafish contribute to modeling complex brain disorders. Zebrafish are highly sensitive to major classes of neurotropic drugs and zebrafish models can be used to study CNS cancer, epilepsy, anxiety, and autism.

• Drosophila melanogaster (Drosophila)

Drosophila is well suited for studying the neural basis of behavior due to display a rich set of behaviors including those requiring cognitive abilities. Many neurons are identifiable due to the simple and genetically tractable brain of the Drosophila. Besides, Drosophila owns a large set of genetic tools labels and manipulates neurons and circuits.

• Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans)

The C. elegans is an excellent model organism for a systems-level understanding of neural circuits and behavior, and has experimental amenability, and small and well-defined nervous system. Besides, C. elegans offers an opportunity for a complete understanding of motor circuit function and modulation within the freely moving animal.
