The Brain
1. **Neuroplasticity:** The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections
throughout life. This has implications for learning, memory, and recovery from brain injuries.
2. **Neurobiology of emotions:** Studying how the brain processes and regulates emotions,
which can help understand mood disorders and develop treatments.
6. **Consciousness:** Studying the neural basis of consciousness, including how the brain
generates subjective experiences and self-awareness.
7. **Brain imaging techniques:** Advancements in imaging technologies like fMRI, EEG, and
PET have greatly expanded our ability to study the brain's structure and function in both healthy
and diseased states.
These areas of research are constantly evolving, contributing to our understanding of the brain
and its complexities.
