Neuroscience: the scientific study of the nervous system. The scope of neuroscience has broadened over time to include different approaches used to study the molecular, cellular, developmental, structural, functional, evolutionary, computational, psychosocial and medical aspects of the nervous system. The study of the nervous system can be done at multiple levels, ranging from the molecular and cellular levels to the systems and cognitive levels.
