What is Neuroscience?

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. It involves investigations into the biological workings of the nervous system and how its activity produces thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

It is made up of the ‘neuro’ part of fields like:

  • Anatomy, giving rise to Neuroanatomy – study of the structure of the nervous system
  • Physiology, giving rise to Neurophysiology – study of the function of the nervous system
  • Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence giving rise to the fields of Neural Networks - using artifical neural networks, modelled on biological neural networks, to process data
