The Role of Neuroscience in Understanding Cognitive Processes

Abstract

Cognitive processes such as attention, memory, perception, and decision-making have long intrigued scientists across disciplines. Neuroscience offers a biological lens to understand these mechanisms by studying the structure and function of the brain. Advances in neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and computational modeling have enabled researchers to correlate specific brain regions with cognitive functions and dysfunctions. This article explores how neuroscience contributes to the understanding of core cognitive processes and highlights the integration of multidisciplinary approaches that bridge psychology, biology, and artificial intelligence for a more holistic view of the human mind.
