Behavioral neuroscience
hideBehavioral neuroscience is a subdicipline of both neuroscience and psychology. Neuroscience itself is the scientific study of the nervous system, while psychology is the study of behavior. Behavioral neuroscience is largely concerned with ascertaining the function of neural systems in generating behavior. The field is therefore closely allied with systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and biological psychology.
