Question: What is neuroscience

Aileen Harnett answered on 11 Nov 2021:

Hi Dervla, neuroscience is the study of the brain and the nervous system! So it involves your brain, your spinal cord, and all the nerves in your body. The nervous system controls everything you do, including breathing, walking, thinking and feeling. So really it’s incredibly important! Our job as neuroscientists is to study how these systems develop, and how they work, to help us understand what happens when things go wrong and hopefully fix them!
