This group collects the Life Sciences subcategory's members whose defining work concerns neuroscience: the brain, the nervous system and animal behavior as it relates to neural function, from the founders of neuron theory to modern researchers on brain disease and cognitive function. It is kept apart from Physiology And Medicine, whose members study the body's systems broadly rather than the nervous system specifically.
