A nucleus which is found in every neuron, acts as the cell's feeding center.
outgrowths. (A nerve fibril is formed of several interconnected axons.)
several nerve fibrils join together to form a single large nerve fiber.
CSM (Cortical stimulation mapping) is a kind of electrocorticography that utilizes direct electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex to determine the function of specific areas of the brain.
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is made up of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion functional MRI
Using dMRI, a recent advancement in brain mapping, provide imaging cross connections across several a...

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) detects variations in blood flow to oversee brain activity.
Haemodynamic response refers to the rapid flow of blood to activated brain areas.
When they are induced by sensory (rather than cognitive or motor) event stimuli, they are known as somatosensory evoked potentials.
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique for mapping brain activity
MEG
MEG quicker than fMRI
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring technique for recording electrical activity on the scalp, which has been demonstrated to correspond to the macroscopic activity of the brain's surface layer underneath.
Electroencephalograms (EEG) show intermittent rhythmic delta activity (IRDA), which is a form of brain wave abnormality.
Neuroendocrinology is a field of biology (particularly, physiology) that examines the connection between the neurological and endocrine systems,
the neurological and endocrine systems frequently work together in a process known as neuroendocrine integration.
the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, regulates pituitary gland hormone production, and has since grown to encompass a wide range of endocrine and neurological system interactions.
Behavioral and molecular neuropharmacology are the two primary divisions of neuropharmacology.
The study of how medicines impact human behavior is a subject of behavioral neuropharmacology,
the study of neurons and their neurochemical interactions is called molecular neuropharmacology, and it aims to discover medi...

interconnections of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, neurohormones, neuromodulators, enzymes, second messengers, co-transporters, ion channels, and receptor proteins ...

Cognitive neuroscience addresses the questions of how psychological functions are produced by neural circuitry.
In enzyme-linked immunocytochemistry or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), substrate-binding with in enzymatic tests can generate precipitates, fluorophores, or chemiluminescence, indicating the presence of neurotransmitters.
GABA is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, whereas glutamate is the most important excitable neurotransmitter.
