Traditionally Neuroscience has been a branch of biology, but has since become dominated more by the fields of [[psychology]] and [[computational science]]. It also draws heavily from and contributes to fields in [[medicine]], [[physiology]], [[statistics]], [[physics]], and [[chemistry]].

The nervous system is divided into two main sections, the [[peripheral nervous system]] and the [[central nervous system]]. Neuroscientist investigate both systems with a wide range of methodologies including: comparative animal physiology, biochemical and genetic analysis, case studies of pathologies, [[Neuroimaging| brain imaging]] and [[computational modeling]]. Investigations range from studying the cellular components of individual neurons, to large scale interactions of multiple organ systems.

Neuroscience is a rapidly growing field of interest. Probably the most significant event that has led to the explosion of research and findings is the development of non-invasive imaging techniques of the brain in living organisms particularly those techniques that allow for analysis of function and not just anatomical structures (such as the [[fMRI]]).
