The Cognitive Neurosciences

The Cognitive Neurosciences is a field that studies how the brain enables our mental processes, like thinking, memory, language, and decision-making. It combines neuroscience, psychology, and other disciplines to understand how different brain regions work together to produce our thoughts and behaviors. By exploring the neural basis of cognition, researchers aim to uncover how the brain supports everyday functions and what happens when these processes are disrupted by injury or disease. Overall, it seeks to connect brain activity to the rich tapestry of human thought and experience, enhancing our understanding of the mind-brain relationship.
