Clinical neuroscience

Okay kiddo, let me explain what clinical neuroscience means.

You know how our body has a brain that helps us think, feel and move around? Clinical neuroscience is a fancy word that helps doctors and scientists study how our brain works and how it affects our body.

They use special tools like MRI machines to see inside our brain and find out which parts are active when we are doing certain things like talking, walking or feeling happy or sad.

Scientists also study the brain to understand how it controls our senses like seeing, hearing and touching. So, we can learn new things about the brain and improve the way we treat things like brain injuries, diseases, and mental health problems.

In short, clinical neuroscience is all about understanding our brain and how it works so that we can help people who are sick or struggling with mental health problems to feel better.
