Description
Neuroscience is the interdisciplinary study of the nervous system and how it gives rise to perception, cognition, emotion, and behavior. Integrating perspectives from biology, psychology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, philosophy, and other disciplines, neuroscience seeks to understand nervous systems across multiple levels of organization, from molecules and cells to neural circuits, cognition, and behavior. Research in neuroscience spans basic investigations of the fundamental mechanisms of nervous system function to translational and clinical studies that advance our understanding of brain, behavior, health, and disease.
