Neuroscience is the study of the development and function of the brain and its connection to behavior. Over the past thirty years training programs in neurosciences have increased substantially in number and sophistication. "Neuroscience" has become a formal part of the lexicon of academia, joining the traditional disciplines of biology, biomedicine, and psychology. Advancements in neuroimaging, neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology, neurosurgery, and the treatment of head injury and neurodegenerative diseases are a few examples of the progress in Neuroscience.
