cognitive biology

Cognitive biology is the study of how living organisms perceive, process, and respond to information in their environment. It explores the biological basis of mental processes like perception, learning, memory, and decision-making across different species. By examining neural and molecular mechanisms, cognitive biology seeks to understand how cognition evolved and functions in both simple and complex life forms, highlighting the connection between behavior and biology without assuming human uniqueness. It integrates neuroscience, biology, and psychology to reveal how cognition is rooted in biological systems across the animal kingdom.
