Analytical Molecular Neuroscience Characterization

# Analytical Molecular Neuroscience Characterization Skill

## Overview
This skill enables characterization in the domain of molecular-neuroscience (neuroscience). It represents intermediate-level expertise and is designed for production use in research, industry, and educational contexts.

## Description
Use this skill when you need to perform characterization operations related to molecular-neuroscience. This includes tasks such as:
- record neural activity
- study behavior
- analyze brain signals

The skill leverages imaging systems and follows best practices established in the neuroscience community.
