This discipline employs core and practical engineering methods to address fundamental and clinical challenges in neuroscience. At the foundational level, it seeks to comprehend the behavior of single neurons, their development, inter-neuronal communication, and how groups of neurons generate intricate behaviors. This knowledge has wide-ranging applications for enhancing our grasp of interactions among different nervous system components and the brain. For instance, it can contribute to creating substitutes for damaged neural pathways, including those involved in hearing, sight, and movement, as well as deepening insights into the functioning of healthy and pathological systems.
