  Neurobiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neurobiology is a branch of biology that is involved in the study of nervous systems of all animals from a biological and evolutionary perspective.
It is also subdiscipline of neuroscience, a much broader field that is concerned with any scientific study of the nervous system.
Neurobiology should not be confused however, with other subdisciplines of neuroscience such as computational neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, biological psychiatry, neurology, and neuropsychology.

 USC Section of Neurobiology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Faculty in the Neurobiology Section conduct research to elucidate basic principles of neural function, such as (i) how neurons function at the molecular and cellular level, (ii) how the brain is organized, (iii) how neural circuits develop, and (iv) how neural signaling subserves communication between individual neurons and encodes permanent behavioral changes triggered by experience.
Primary research themes of the Neurobiology Section faculty are the neural synapse, the connection that allows signals to move from neuron to neuron or neuron to muscle, and how networks of neurons give rise to brain function.
The structure and function of the synapse and of neural networks are at the core of much of our research.
