Neurobiology
Neurobiology: is also known as neuroscience and is the scientific study of the nervous system. It is a branch of biology that combines various realms of science like anatomy, physiology, molecular biology and cytology in order to better understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits. Over time the scope of neuroscience has broadened to include different approaches used to study the nervous system.
