Cognitive neuroscience is entering an exciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neural basis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interacting neurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.

When it comes to how neuroscience could help the wider public, the worst thing is when we make advances in, say, mindfulness, and then decide that everybody can potentially think their way to curing themselves or develop their own psycho-neuro-immune mechanisms for boosting cancer defenses.

Steven Pinker

Why is it surprising that scientists might have long hair and wear cowboy boots? In fields like neuroscience, where the events you are recording are so minute, I suspect scientists cultivate a boring, reliable image. A scientist with a reputation for flamboyance might be suspect.

Canadian Scientist

Sean M. Carroll

I've loved physics from a young age, but I've also been interested in all sorts of big questions, from philosophy to evolution and neuroscience. And what those fields have in common is that they all aim to capture certain aspects of the same underlying universe.

Paul Bloom

I don't doubt that the explanation for consciousness will arise from the mercilessly scientific account of psychology and neuroscience, but, still, isn't it neat that the universe is such that it gave rise to conscious beings like you and me?

Canadian Psychologist

Stanley B. Prusiner

Neuroscience is by far the most exciting branch of science because the brain is the most fascinating object in the universe. Every human brain is different - the brain makes each human unique and defines who he or she is.

David Chalmers

Within psychology and neuroscience, some new and rigorous experimental paradigms for studying consciousness have helped it begin to overcome the stigma that has been attached to the topic for most of this century.

American Philosopher

Robert Winston

Neuroscience is now a very important research area in biology. We are now understanding a lot more about brains in babies, as well as children and adults.

British Scientist

Aloe Blacc

In school, I studied psychology, linguistics, neuroscience. I understand that there is a real lack of respect for the brain.

American Musician

Leon Kass

The neuroscience area - which is absolutely in its infancy - is much more important than genetics.

American Educator

Neuroscience is a subject studied at universities and used in professional research.

Academic Field

Neuroscience often relates to discovering new things about how our brain functions.

Brain Research

Neuroscience combines knowledge from biology, chemistry, psychology, and more.

Interdisciplinary

 about the properties about how the brain works because we don't teach neuroscience in schools. And one of the reasons why is that the equipment is so complex and so expensive that it's really only done at major universities and large institutions. And so in order to be able to access the brain, you really need to dedicate your life and spend six and a half years as a graduate student

 With the development of psychology and neuroscience, scientists have weighed in, as well. Many modern scientists reject the idea that there's any distinction between the mind and body. Neuroscience suggests that our bodies, along with their physical senses, are deeply integrated with the activity in our brains
