=== Interdisciplinary fields === [[Neuroscience]] has a unique perspective in that it can be applied in a broad range of disciplines, and thus the fields neuroscientists work in vary. Neuroscientists may study topics from the large hemispheres of the brain to neurotransmitters and synapses occurring in neurons at a micro-level. Some fields that combine psychology and neurobiology include [[cognitive neuroscience]], and behavioural neuroscience. Cognitive neuroscientists study human [[consciousness]], specifically the brain, and how it can be seen through a lens of biochemical and biophysical processes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://careersinpsychology.org/becoming-a-cognitive-neuroscientist/|title=How To Become A Cognitive Neuroscientist {{!}} CareersinPsychology.org|website=careersinpsychology.org|access-date=2016-03-29|url-status=live|archive-url=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20160329032751/http://careersinpsychology.org/becoming-a-cognitive-neuroscientist/|archive-date=2016-03-29}}</ref> Behavioral neuroscience encompasses the whole nervous system, environment and the brain how these areas show us aspects of motivation, learning, and motor skills along with many others.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.psychology.ucsd.edu/research-areas/cognitive-behavior-neuroscience.html|title=Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience|website=www.psychology.ucsd.edu|access-date=2016-03-30|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401111758/http://psychology.ucsd.edu/research-areas/cognitive-behavior-neuroscience.html|archive-date=2016-04-01}}</ref> Computational neuroscience uses mathematical models to understand how the brain processes information.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Computational neuroscience - Latest research and news {{!}} Nature|url=https://www.nature.com/subjects/computational-neuroscience|access-date=2020-11-16|website=www.nature.com}}</ref>
