Neuroscience is the multidisciplinary study of nervous systems, integrating molecular biology, physiology, and computational modeling to understand how neural circuits give rise to learning, memory, and behavior. Although plants lack neurons, neuroscience concepts and methods have inspired the emerging field of plant neurobiology, which investigates analogous signaling networks — including electrical signals, calcium waves, and long-distance chemical communication — that allow plants to sense, integrate, and respond to environmental stimuli. These parallels offer fresh frameworks for understanding how plants process information and exhibit adaptive behaviors without a conventional nervous system.
