Unlike cognitive neuroscience, which historically has focused on the connection between human brain systems and behavior, the field of MCC has used model organisms, such as mice, to study how molecular (i.e. receptor, kinase activation, phosphatase regulation), intra-cellular (i.e.
Unlike cognitive neuroscience, which primarily examines the relationship between human brain mechanisms and behavior, the MCC field employs model organisms such as mice to explore how molecular (such as receptor activity, kinase activation, phosphatase control) and intracellular (like signaling pathways) processes operate.
