What is Neuroscience?

          Neuroscience is the study of how the nervous system behaves and how it develops. Neuroscientists focus on the brain studying the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. Most professionals specialize in a certain area of study, such as cell chemistry and biology, brain anatomy, cognition, genetics, or experimental psychology liaising closely with other disciplines, such as mathematics, linguistics, engineering, computer science, philosophy, psychology, and medicine. Not only is neuroscience concerned with the normal functioning of the nervous system, but also what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

           Neuroscientists are involved in a much wider scope of fields today than before. They study the cellular, functional, evolutionary, computational, molecular, cellular and medical aspects of the nervous system.

            Neuroscience offers many job opportunities for highly well trained candidates with the goal of research.
