The field of neuroscience is the study of the nervous system at different levels of interest – from molecules to cells, networks, the brain and entire body – and through the perspective of different disciplines.
Neuroscience is one of the fastest growing disciplines in all of science, thanks to the continuous advancement in medical technology that is allowing us to learn more about the brain and integrate its function (or dysfunction) with behavior and cognition.
The breakthroughs in neuroscience have led – and will continue to lead – to some of the most important developments in a wide range of fields, such as cognitive sciences, medicine, psychology, law, engineering, education, and public policy.
