A field of study, which deals with the structure, development, function, chemistry, pharmacology and pathology of the central or peripheral nervous system. The biological study of the brain is an intradisciplinary field, which involves cellular and molecular biology on one hand and psychology on the other hand. Thus, the concern of neuroscience includes such diverse topics as how genes contribute to emotions and thought and how simple neural structures evolve to complex neural circuits to achieve functions as perceiving, moving and remembering.
