	USC Neuroscience: Research: Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience
		The mechanisms by which these specific molecules regulate a diverse array of processes are being actively investigated, including: modes of excitability in axons versus dendrites; synaptogenesis and synaptic communication and plasticity; the ability of axons to project to their targets; and sensory processing and signal transduction.
		Finally, an important area of research in cell-molecular neuroscience at USC is focused on identifying genes that comprise the molecular basis for complex behaviors, such as courtship in the fly and ingestive and sensory behaviors in mammals.
		Molecular neuroscientists further benefit from collaborations with colleagues in computational and molecular biology, who excel at analyzing large and complex data sets.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Neuroscience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Neuroscience is a field of study which deals with the structure, function, development, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology and pathology of the nervous system, divided most generally into the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), and the peripheral nervous system, consisting of the myriad nerve pathways running throughout the body.
		Some researchers believe that cognitive neuroscience provides a bottom-up approach to understanding the mind and consciousness that is complementary to, or may replace, the top-down approach of psychology.
		Molecular and cellular neuroscience - In principle, there is no distinction between cellular and molecular biology of the brain and of any other organ.

		Electron Cryomicroscopy (Cryo-EM) is a means of imaging neural serial sections, usually cut by a cryoultramicrotome, now at an experimental maximum (uniform) sample width-reduction of 40-60 nanometers (nm).
		Application of the attained information is of limited practical significance relative to the shortcomings of any stand-alone mechanism (as well as its resultant metadata complex therefore), and is often optimally beneficial when synthesized in hybrid with the many other imaging techniques, borrowing their appropriate specialized data-perception abilities as compensation for its own short-comings.
		As the first of these four primary choices of examination are non-invasive they are more commonly employed, especially in psychiatric evaluation, which lacks the need present in computational neuroscience (e.g.

	Systems neuroscience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Systems neuroscience is the study of neural circuit function in intact organisms.
		Researchers concerned with systems neuroscience focus on the vast space that exists between molecular and cellular approaches to the brain and the study of high-level mental functions such as language, memory, and self-awareness (which are the purview of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience).
		The challenges in studying neural circuits are many, as nonlinear interactions between voltage and ligand-gated channels, second messenger systems, exocytosis, and other processes dictate that these neural networks will not just be the sums of their parts, but will produce unexpected and complex patterns of activity.
