Neuroscience, the study of the nervous system, advances the understanding of human thought, emotion, and behavior. Neuroscientists use tools ranging from computers to special dyes to examine molecules, nerve cells, networks, brain systems, and behavior. From these studies, they learn how the nervous system develops and functions normally and what goes wrong in neurological disorders. [...]

Neuroscientists study the brain and central nervous system. They unravel mysteries of the mind, including emotions, thought, and behavior. Through their research, neuroscientists work to: * Describe the human brain and how it functions normally. * Determine how the nervous system develops, matures and maintains itself through life. * Find ways to prevent or cure [...]

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Such studies span the structure, function, evolutionary history, development, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, informatics, computational neuroscience and pathology of the nervous system. The International Brain Research Organization was founded in 1960, the European Brain and Behaviour Society in 1968, and the Society for Neuroscience in 1969, [...]
