Neuroscience is a field that is devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system. Such studies may include the
structure,
function,
evolutionary history,
development,
genetics,
biochemistry,
physiology,
pharmacology, and
pathology of the
nervous system. Traditionally it is seen as a branch of
biological sciences. However, recently there has been a surge in the convergence of interest from many allied disciplines, including
cognitive- and
neuro-psychology,
computer science,
statistics,
physics, and
medicine. The scope of neuroscience has now broadened to include any systematic scientific experimental and theoretical investigation of the central and peripheral nervous system of biological organisms. The methodologies employed by
neuroscientists have been enormously expanded, from biochemical and genetic analysis of dynamics of individual
nerve cells and their molecular constituents to
imaging representations of perceptual and motor tasks in the brain.
