Neuroscience is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the nervous system, with a focus on understanding the structure, function, development, and pathology of the brain and other neural networks. It encompasses various fields, including biology, psychology, pharmacology, and computer science, examining how the nervous system influences behavior, cognition, and bodily functions. Neuroscience aims to explore the complex processes underlying neural activity, the mechanisms of learning and memory, and the impact of neurological disorders. By integrating different scientific approaches, neuroscience aims to uncover the biological foundations of mental phenomena and develop treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
