Neuroscience is the interdisciplinary study of the nervous system, aiming to understand the structure, function, development, and disorders of the brain and neural networks. It encompasses a wide range of fields including molecular and cellular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, neuroimmunology, neurogenetics, and neuropharmacology.
Brain health refers to the preservation of optimal brain function across the lifespan. It involves maintaining cognitive abilities, emotional balance, and neurological integrity through lifestyle, prevention, and medical care. With rising concerns about neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis, brain health has become a critical area of focus in aging populations.
