Neuroscience is the study of the brain and nervous system, but there are many approaches to doing so. Neuroscientists may study the anatomy (neuroanatomy), physiology (neurophysiology), or evolution and development of the brain. Alternatively, they may study molecular neurobiology, neurochemistry, or neuropharmacology. Neuroscience also includes clinical case studies by neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuropsychiatrists. Cognitive, affective, and behavioral neuroscientists are among those who study the neurological basis of how the mind works (psychology). The newest branch of neuroscience is computational neuroscience, which uses mathematical models to understand how the brain works.

About Sense of Mind
My goal: Give you an accurate and clear picture of how the brain and mind work at various levels of analysis. I do that by carefully reading and reporting the science as I understand it.
