Who We Are
Our Story
At RHS Neuroscience Club, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. That's why we started this club - to make a real difference in the world through neuroscience.
Our brain has 160 billion cells.
We have 80 billion neurons made up of 10,000 different types.
Each neuron is connected to thousands of other neurons.
With this amazing structure our brain functions as a multi-level network capable of creativity, kindness, friendship and humor.
By understanding neuroscience, we can perform better, collaborate better and learn more effectively.
Our club was founded to promote these principles to help us know ourselves and the people around us better so we can all grow, learn and enjoy life to the fullest extent possible.
Our Values
At the core of our club are our values of integrity, transparency, and growth. We believe in doing the right thing, even when it's difficult.
Our Approach
At RHS Neuroscience Club, we take a community approach to learning and giving back through knowledge, data and information.
Field of Neuroscience
Neuroscience Definition
Fields of study in Neuroscience
Fields of study in Neuroscience
Neuroscience is the field of study of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves.
Neuroscience studies how the nervous system controls various aspects of behavior, cognition, emotion, and learning. People have always been curious about how thoughts form, how we feel the world around us, and what makes us behave the way that we do. From ancient cavillations, we have been wondering about disorders to the nervous system and have sought cures to deal with the symptoms and causes of nervous system disorders.
The different regions of the brain manage different functions and are connected together via neurons and neuro transmitters. Today we know that our thoughts are formed by the 160 billion cells that make our brain and the 8 quadrillion connections or neurons that connect these cells together using electrical and chemical pulses.

Fields of study in Neuroscience
Neuroscience is a vast field of study with many branches including clinical disorders, developmental and molecular development and genetics, medical therapies including surgery, and modeling and engineering to use the nervous system to design and build learning and artificial intelligence.
Cognition and Behavior
Fields of study in Neuroscience
Cognition and Behavior
Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience studies deal with how the brain enables mental processes such as perception, attention, memory, language, reasoning, and decision-making. as well as studies how the brain influences behavior and emotions.
Clinical Disorders
Developmental and Molecular Neuroscience
Cognition and Behavior
Clinical neuroscience studies how neurological disorders affect the brain and nervous system, and how they can be diagnosed and treated.
- Neuropsychiatry: studies how psychiatric disorders affect the brain and behavior, and how they can be diagnosed and treated.
- Neuropsychology: studies how brain damage or dysfunction affects cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions in humans.
- Neurosurgery: performs surgical procedures on the brain or spinal cord to treat neurological disorders or injuries.
- Neuropathology: studies the changes in the nervous system caused by disease or injury.
- Neuropharmacology: studies how drugs affect neural function and behavior, and how they can be used to treat neurological disorders.
Developmental and Molecular Neuroscience
Developmental and Molecular Neuroscience
Developmental and Molecular Neuroscience
A number of fields deal with developmental and molecular concepts in neuroscience.
- Developmental neuroscience: studies how the nervous system develops from conception to adulthood, and how it changes with aging.
- Molecular neuroscience: studies how molecules and genes regulate the function of neurons and neural circuits.
- Neuroanatomy: studies the structure and organization of the nervous system at different levels of analysis.
- Neurobiology: studies the biological basis of neural function, including cellular, molecular, genetic, and physiological mechanisms.
- Neurochemistry: studies how chemical substances and reactions affect neural activity and communication.
- Neurogenetics: studies how genes influence the development and function of the nervous system, and how genetic variations contribute to neurological disorders.
- Neuroimmunology: studies how the immune system interacts with the nervous system in health and disease.
- Neurolinguistics: studies how the brain processes language and communication.
- Neurology: studies the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the nervous system
Engineering and Modeling Neuroscience
Developmental and Molecular Neuroscience
Developmental and Molecular Neuroscience
A number of fields seek to model the functioning of the brain and the nervous system to emulate its function for building more intelligent systems.
- Computational neuroscience: uses mathematical models and computer simulations to understand the structure and function of the nervous system.
- Neuro-engineering: applies engineering principles and techniques to design and create devices and systems that interface with or enhance the nervous system
- Neuroradiology: uses imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scan, PET scan, or EEG to visualize the structure and function of the nervous system.
- Neuroethics: studies the ethical, social, and legal implications of neuroscience research and applications.
- Neurolinguistics: studies how the brain processes language and communication.
- Neuromusicology: studies how music affects the brain and behavior, and how musical abilities are related to neural function.
- Neurophilosophy: studies the philosophical implications of neuroscience findings for topics such as consciousness, free will, morality, and identity.
- Social neuroscience: studies how social interactions influence neural function and behavior.
