Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral neuroscientists study the biological foundations of behavior, which includes the relationship between the brain's structure and its function. Studying the brain's structure alone does not fully capture the complexity of behavior. The focus is on neuroscience, not psychiatry, which is a medical specialty involving the treatment of mental disorders. Studying mental events that intervene between stimuli and responses falls under the area of cognitive psychology.
