Why is Neuroscience important in Psychology?
Psychology is the study of behavior and the mental processes which lead to behaviorโthoughts, feelings and desires. Psychology observes these behaviors and processes indirectly. Neuroscienceย delves deeper into the human mind, observing biological and chemical processes in the brain and nervous system. Neuroscience makes it possible to look more directly, to see whatโs going on inside our brains.
Psychology is crucial to studying, understanding and treating various mental illnesses. But neuroscience, offering the ability to see the brainโs inner-workings, to identify electrical and chemical changes relative to stimuli, offers mental health professionals an invaluable tool in formulating and also evaluating and amending treatment plans.
The twoโneuroscience and psychologyโcan work hand-in-hand in helping to address unwanted behaviors and processes and develop healthier and more desirable patterns. For psychologists trying to understand, explain, and change unwanted behaviors, understanding the neurobiological and neuropharmacological background can be invaluable in treatment.

What is Neuroscience?
Neuroscience focuses on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions, or in other words, how we think. By recording brain waves and brain rhythms, neuroscience investigates what goes on within the nervous system when we have neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Neuroscience can lead to the development of new neuropathways which bring healing โฆ and hope.
Why is Studying Neuroscience Important?
A deeper understanding of the brain and improved methods of studying it aide in developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses. Having the ability to observe biological and chemical workings within the brain works hand-in-hand with therapeutic treatment options.
