What is neuroscience?

Neuroscience is the scientific investigation of the nervous system. Neuroscientists explore the nervous system mechanistically at all levels, disorders of the nervous system, and how the nervous system interacts with the environment. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary science that exists at the peak of innovation, combining an understanding of the nervous system with input from fields such as biology, psychology, chemistry, physics, computational science, and more.
