Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. It combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, mathematical modeling, and
psychology to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits. It is used to diagnose disease and assess the
health of the brain. It can also be useful in the study of the brain, how it works, and how different activities affect the brain. Neuroinformatics – integrates data across all areas of neuroscience, to help understand the
brain and treat diseases.
Neuroscience majors study a combination of subjects, including
psychology and chemistry, to deepen their understanding of the
brain and the nervous system. They also investigate what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric, and neuro developmental disorders.
