Читать книгу Neurobiology For Dummies - Frank Amthor - Страница 25

The study of the nervous system intrinsically involves many fields. Neurobiology, our focus here, depends on physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, cognitive and behavioral psychology, and artificial intelligence. The basic goals of neurobiology are to describe how the nervous system operates in terms of what the system does, how it’s built, and how it works. We try to do these things by considering first various subsystems of the brain and nervous system, and then looking carefully at function in the neural circuitry within those subsystems.
