If human beings or any living things had never been created and were without the ability to contemplate the workings of the Universe around us would the rest of the Universe and its laws still exist and function without interruption? Yep.

So you are wrong OP.

There would be no point. But that's not what you claimed in the OP.

Seriously though, neuroscience is pretty new. Give it time.

I wouldn't say it's the greatest, it hasn't had enough time to be the greatest
it's certainly one of the more interesting studies though

Hey OP, what is the best textbook for undergrad neuroscience?

[Anonymous No.3686029]

OP i think you'll find genetics beats neuroscience. All of biology is encoded in the genome. It's unraveled at your conception, and wrapped back up when you yourself reproduce. The genome is the beginning and the end.

[Anonymous No.3686043]

>>3685263
How were you not aware of that going in? I mean, what did you think a science centered around the BRAIN was going to boil down to?

>>3685999
Not OP, but I majored in neuroscience. I'd recommend "Principles of Neural Science" by Eric Kandel, 4th edition. It's definitely the most comprehensive, in-depth intro-level neuroscience textbook out there ("intro" being a relative term; you almost never see this textbook used outside of upper level top 25 university undergrad neuroscience courses and grad courses). Unfortunately it's extremely old at this point (a decade old in fact) so there's a couple chapters that aren't even relevant anymore, as well as some instances where the book glosses over some topics because back then we didn't know much about them but in the past 10 years we figured that shit out. The 5th edition should be coming out within the next year or so, but they've been saying that since 2004.

If that surprised you then you need to re-evaluate how you look at the field. Too many biologists think the mind can be understood completely through the chemistry and synaptic connections, and too many psychologists think thats unecessary and it can be understood completely by looking at behaviour.
