Behavioral neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on the study of how the brain and nervous system affect behavior. This field integrates principles from psychology, biology, and neuroscience to understand how the brain controls behavior, emotions, and cognition. Researchers in this field use a variety of techniques including brain imaging, electrophysiology, and animal studies to investigate the underlying mechanisms of behavior and how they are influenced by genetics, environment, and experience. Studies in behavioral neuroscience can have implications for understanding and treating a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
