Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience: The study of cognitive
processes and their implementation in the brain. Cognitive
neuroscientists use methods drawn from brain damage, neuropsychology,
cognitive psychology, functional neuroimaging, and computer modeling.
Behavioral Neuroscience: The study of how the
nervous system mediates behavioral effects in the realms of motivation,
perception, learning and memory, and attention and motor performance.
Research in this area investigates the complex interplay between the
brain, behavior and environment, utilizing multiple levels of
experimental analysis, in areas that include communication, biological
rhythms, and learning and memory, and audition.
