Definition of the neuroscience

Although awareness of the mankind from the brain goes back to the early days of the evolution; the brain science has given stem to the new line of science so called the neuroscience at about mid 20th century. This happened by the progress in science and technology as well as development of new sophisticated method and material which allowed the neuroscientist to dig deep into the brain in cellular as well as molecular level.

The brain science called neuroscience since built in evidence base findings; consuming vast range of scientific facts and relatively old knowledge of mathematic, physic, chemistry, biology, and medicine.
There is some conflict in developing countries which divide neuroscience into basic, clinical, and/or cognitive and so on-neuroscience.

To solve this conflict one may refer to definition of science and technology. There is a clear distinction between science and technology. Science pursues a path in search of truth; whereas, technology applies the fruits of scientific endeavor to gain financial achievement. So that, adding whatever prefix to the neuroscience does not replace science from profession; neither alter the meaning of the brain science.

Although biological, physiological, and medical research gathered the early data of the brain science; most meaningful results came from chemistry as neurochemistry. Recent progress in the neuroscience emerges from the knowledge of mathematic, electronic physic, and even the science base philosophy such as psychophysiology; rather than deductive hypothesis of psychology.

Finally it seems that human brain used natural paradigm to discover and produce artificial tools; whereas our knowledge of brain science made sophisticated progress after producing an artificial tool of the computer.
In conclusion the brain science which so called the neuroscience as an independent medical science uses facts of all branches of classic as well as modern science; and consist of scientific facts, science base philosophy, and neuroethics.
