The scientific name for the study of the nervous system is neuroscience. This interdisciplinary field encompasses various aspects, including the structure, function, development, and disorders of the nervous system. Neuroscience combines principles from biology, psychology, and medicine to understand how the brain and nervous system influence behavior, cognition, and physiological processes. Research in neuroscience has been instrumental in advancing knowledge about neurological disorders, mental health conditions, and the underlying mechanisms of learning and memory.
