NEUROSCIENCE-INFO

Neuroscience is a field devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system. Neuroscience-info is a Medivision Healthcare web portal designed to educate the public and healthcare professionals on current topics in Neuroscience... At the cognitive level, neuroscience addresses the questions of how psychological / cognitive functions are produced by the neural circuitry. The emergence of powerful new measurement techniques such as neuroimaging (e.g.,fMRI, PET, SPECT), electrophysiology and human genetic analysis combined with sophisticated experimental techniques from cognitive psychology allows neuroscientists and psychologists to address abstract questions such as how human cognition and emotion are mapped to specific neural circuitries. Neuroscience is also beginning to become allied with social sciences, and burgeoning interdisciplinary fields of neuroeconomics, decision theory, social neuroscience are starting to address some of the most complex questions involving interactions..
