Neuroscience

Neuroscience involves many areas including the development, structure, function, chemistry, pharmacology, clinical assessments and pathology of the nervous system. It has become recognized as one of the most interesting areas of science. Neuroscience researchers study and analyze everything from genes to behaviors. Their research in this area has lead to the understanding of how the human brain works, determine how the nervous system operates, and find ways to prevent and cure neurological damage It is a field of science that integrates biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, psychology, and behavior with the areas of human emotions and cognitive functions.
