'''Neuroscience''' is the [[scientific]] [[study]] of the [[nervous system]]. [[Traditionally]], neuroscience has been seen as a branch of [[biology]]. Nevertheless, it is currently an interdisciplinary science that involves other [[disciplines]] such as [[psychology]], [[computer science]], [[statistics]], [[physics]], [[philosophy]], and [[medicine]]. As a result, the scope of neuroscience has broadened to include [[different]] approaches used to study the [[molecular]], [[developmental]], [[structural]], [[functional]], [[evolutionary]], [[computational]], and [[medical]] aspects of the nervous system. The [[techniques]] used by neuroscientists have also expanded enormously, from biophysical and molecular studies of [[individual]] nerve cells to imaging of [[perceptual]] and motor tasks in the [[brain]]. Recent [[theoretical]] advances in neuroscience have also been aided by the use of [[Mathematical modeling|computational modeling]] of [[neural networks]]. The term neurobiology is usually used interchangeably with neuroscience, although the former refers specifically to the biology of the nervous system, whereas the latter refers to the entire science of the nervous system.

Given the ever-increasing [[number]] of neuroscientists that study the nervous system, several prominent neuroscience organizations have been formed to provide a forum to all neuroscientists and [[educators]]. For example, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Brain_Research_Organization International Brain Research Organization] was founded in 1960,[1] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Brain_and_Behaviour_Society European Brain and Behaviour Society] in 1968,[2] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Neuroscience Society for Neuroscience] in 1969[3].
