Genomic Proteomic and Electrical Brain Signals Integration Towards the Multiscale Functional Monitoring and CNS Pathology.
A. Bezerianos and L. Moraru

The human brain and nervous system comprise the most complex organ in the human body. Hundreds of billions of nerve cells, each one connected to up to ten thousand others, make possible complex functions as perception, learning, or memory. Nowadays, researchers have a very good idea of how these nerve cells communicate with each other, however, still a long way from understanding completely how do they interact in the nervous system. Diseases of the nervous system constitute an ever-greater medical problem, as they affect many millions of people of all ages, in all nations, in all walks of life. Neuroscience is a highly interdisciplinary research area, making possible the integration of methods like Genomic, Proteomic and Electrical Brain Signals, towards better understanding of normal and pathophysiological processes in the nervous system. The great challenge of modern neuroscience is to develop new personalized approaches for treatment of neurological disorders.
Key words: human brain, nervous system, functional monitoring, CNS pathology
