Studying the nervous system advances understanding of our basic biology and body function. Knowing how things typically work can help shed light on what may happen when there are problems. It can help researchers find ways to prevent or treat problems that affect the brain, nervous system, and body.
A vast literature coming from basic neuroscience research already provides a remarkable evidence base for understanding how athletes’ brains support them during sport and exercise activity and also when, where and to what extent an athlete brain is different from the one of a common person
Why is neuroscience important in psychology?
Neuroscience has created new and advanced ways for scientists to assess the biological processes that underpin behavior, which in turn enables professionals to make more informed decisions about mental interventions and treatments.
How is psychology and neuroscience connected?
The Psychology and the Neuroscience enrich each other; the psychology guides the Neuroscience in the approach to relevant questions that must be addressed and answered while, at the same time, contributes to the theoretical interpretation of the data obtained.
Is neuroscience good for psychology?
It has helped psychologists better understand the extent to which our brains are “plastic,” at every level of growth. This “plasticity” refers to how much our environment and behaviors can affect the development of our brains.
