what is neuroscience

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, which includes our brain, spinal cord, and all of the nerves in our body. The nervous system is responsible for controlling how our bodies work and how we think, feel, and remember things. Neuroscience is a very interesting field because it looks at how our bodies work and how we experience the world around us. For example, when you are walking, your body sends signals to your brain telling it which muscles to move and when. Your brain then sends signals back to your body telling it how to move. This process is all part of the nervous system and is studied by neuroscientists. Neuroscience is a very complex field involving many different disciplines such as biology, chemistry and physics. There are currently over 10,000 neuroscientists around the world working on better understanding the nervous system. One fun fact about neuroscience is that it has been around since the 1600s, when scientists first started studying the nervous system. However, the field didn’t really start to take off until the 1980s when scientists began using new technologies, such as fMRI brain scans, to better understand the brain.
