Future neuroscience studies will depend on a common framework of techniques, and this guide that solid foundation. Willian T Newsome
Understanding how the brain works is perhaps the greatest challenge facing contemporary science. Willian T Newsome
How mental life is rooted in the biology of the brain is intrinsically fascinating, and researchers from remarkably diverse scientific backgrounds are being drawn increasingly to the field of neuroscience. Willian T Newsome
Indeed, in the history of neuroscience, each leap forward in knowledge has been based on a leap forward in techniques and technology. Matt Carter
Not surprisingly, neuroscience has become a large field of study with many different sub-fields that focus with many different sub-fields that focus on the very small scale all the way to the final outcome of brain activity. Flavio Fröhlich
Neuroscience can have a positive impact upon helping practitioners to understand how children's brains develop and their significant contributions in this process. Mine Conkbayir
Neuroscience and in particular cognitive neuroscience is the study if such higher functions as sensation, perception, language, purposive movement, spatial perception and organization, memory, emotion, planning, decision-making, learning, and assimilation or adaptation. Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb
Cognitive neuroscience is a relatively new branch of science and this means that it is much less easy than in physics or chemistry to present an established view. R. E. Passingham
Cognitive neuroscience serves as the experimental science that makes empirical efforts to link brain properties with behavior. William H. Kitchen
I don’t see that schools are applying the best knowledge of how minds work. Schools should be the best place for applied neuroscience, taking the latest advances in cognitive research and applying it to the job of educating minds. Dr. Arthur Lavin
Neuroscience has proven that similar areas of the brain are activated both in the person who suffers and in the one who feels empathy. Thus, empathic suffering is a true experience of suffering. Matthieu Ricard
Neuroscience is a baby science, a mere century old, and our scientific understanding of the brain is nowhere near where we'd like it to be. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than what is inside of our skulls. Matt Haig
Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored - it's all fascinating. Lisa Randall
There are things that neuroscience is useful for in terms of understanding behavior, but there are also things it is not all that useful for, like understanding the nuances of our reactions to poetry. Alissa Quart
The neuroscience of consciousness is not going to stop in its tracks because some philosophers guesses that project cannot be productive. Patricia Churchland
Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops. John Katzman
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. John O'Keefe
The Holy Grail of neuroscience has been to understand how and where information is encoded in the brain. Thomas R. Insel
The neurosciences do not exist exclusively to understand man's nature. They also serve a social function, such as in the treatment of the cerebral diseases or when helping us to have a more pleasant and constructive life. It is a thing that one could explore well. Rodolfo Llinas
Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on the brain, and the mind follows. Leon Kass
The neuroscience area - which is absolutely in its infancy - is much more important than genetics. Leon Kass
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. Robert Winston
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. Stanley B. Prusiner
