Neuro physiology

neuro physiology is the subsection of the physiology, which is concerned with the function mode of the nervous system. Is z. B. around the special cellphysiological bases of the nerve excitation. Further one examines, like the signal transmission between nerve cells goes and like individual nerve cells (Neurone) informationprocess.

Contrary to the neuro anatomy, which examines the structural and morphologic structure of the nerve tissue, dynamic processes stand both in the individual nerve cell, and whole networks of nerve cells, the neural nets in the center of the interest of neuro physiologists.

Most frequently in the neuro physiologyapplied method is the electrical physiology in the broadest sense. Lately picture-giving procedures ( the so-called have. Imaging), like z. B. the confocal microscopy and the two-photon microscopy, primarily as fluorescence-microscopic methods important contributions to the realization gain in the neuro physiology performed out.
