Studying the nervous system



advances our understanding of our basic biology and body function



. Knowing how things typically work can help shed light on what may happen when there are problems. It can help researchers find ways to prevent or treat problems that affect the brain, nervous system, and body.

A vast literature coming from basic neuroscience research already provides a remarkable evidence base for understanding how athletes’ brains support them during sports and exercise activity and also when, where, and to what extent an athlete’s brain is different from the one of an ordinary person

Why is neuroscience important in psychology?

Neuroscience has created new and advanced ways for scientists to assess the biological processes that underpin behavior, enabling professionals to make more informed decisions about cognitive interventions and treatments.

How are psychology and neuroscience connected?

Psychology and Neuroscience enrich each other; psychology guides Neuroscience in the approach to relevant questions that must be addressed and answered while, at the same time, contributing to the theoretical interpretation of the data obtained.
