Science is a historically dynamic, revolutionary force!!!!

What is neuroscience? According to the Society for Neuroscience, it is: the study of the nervous system, advances the understanding of human thought, emotion, and behavior. Neuroscientists use tools ranging from computers to special dyes to examine molecules, nerve cells, networks, brain systems, and behavior. From these studies, they learn how the nervous system develops and functions normally and what goes wrong in neurological disorders.

But to me, neuroscience is a study of the mind and all its multifacet components and functions that go to make up our future. It therefore transcends beyond the realms of science, into philosophy, mathematics, religion, politics, art, music and the humanities. Neuroscience has just recently been recognized as a new dicipline. Just like the discovery that the world was round or landing on the moon, we now stand on the brink of a new era as we gaze into this wonderful new facination of the 21st century. Please join me and make this a forum for the discussion of all the subjects (which I have mentioned above) which concern us in the new millenium!
