Neurobiology

Neurobiology is a field that studies the structure, functioning and development of the nervous system.

Definition

Combines knowledge from biology, anatomy, physiology, psychology and medicine to explain the functioning of neurons, synapses, brain networks and the nervous system. It helps understand emotions, learning, memory and stress reactions, but does not reduce a person solely to the brain.
