Neurobiology and Behavior
Neurobiology is the study of the nervous system and all its components- the brain, the spinal cord, nerves, neurotransmitters, and chemical messengers. Neurobiology connects with behavior to understand the role of genetic makeup and environmental factors in influencing a person’s behavioral pattern.
It studies how the mechanism of the nervous system affects our decision-making process, thoughts, opinions, and actions.
