Society for Neuroscience - nonprofit membership organization of
basic scientists and physicians who study the brain and nervous
system. Neuroscience includes the study of brain development,
sensation and perception, learning and memory, movement, sleep,
stress, aging and neurological and psychiatric disorders. It also
includes the molecules, cells and genes responsible for nervous
system functioning. Recognizing the tremendous potential for the
study of the brain and nervous system as a separate field, the
Society was formed in 1970
