Neuroscience affects all human functions, but it also assists in a better understanding of common conditions such as Down syndrome, Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), ADHD, addiction, brain tumours, immune system disorders like multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.

History of neuroscience
- The ancient Greeks first tried to understand the role of the brain and to explain neural disorders. Aristotle thought the brain was a blood-cooling mechanism.
- French physician Pierre Paul Broca (1824-1880) concluded that different parts of the brain had specific functions.
- In 1873 Italian physician Gamillo Golgi used silver chromate salt to detect neurons.
- Spanish pathologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal hypothesised that neurons are independent nerve cell units.
- Since the 1950s, scientific development enabled neuroscientists to study the nervous system more in-depth.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
