Las neurociencias estudian el sistema nervioso desde perspectivas biológicas, incluyendo su estructura, función, desarrollo, genética y patología. Los neurocientíficos examinan estos temas a diferentes niveles, como el de las neuronas individuales, las sinapsis, los circuitos neuronales y el comportamiento. El objetivo final es comprender las bases biológicas de la conciencia y los procesos mentales.
