"Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes."
It is the study of how the brain processes and interprets information, focusing on the relationship between thoughts, behavior, and neural functions.
"Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of both neuroscience and psychology, overlapping with disciplines such as behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiological psychology, and affective neuroscience."
"Methods employed in cognitive neuroscience include experimental procedures from psychophysics and cognitive psychology, functional neuroimaging, electrophysiology, cognitive genomics, and behavioral genetics."
"Studies of patients with cognitive deficits due to brain lesions constitute an important aspect of cognitive neuroscience. The damages in lesioned brains provide a comparable starting point on regards to healthy and fully functioning brains."
"People have learning disabilities and such damage [brain lesions], can be compared with how the healthy neural circuits are functioning, and possibly draw conclusions about the basis of the affected cognitive processes."
"Some examples of learning disabilities in the brain include places in Wernicke's area, the left side of the temporal lobe, and Broca's area close to the frontal lobe."
"Developmental cognitive neuroscience shows brain development over time, analyzing differences and concocting possible reasons for those differences."
"Theoretical approaches include computational neuroscience and cognitive psychology."
"Cognitive neuroscience relies upon theories in cognitive science coupled with evidence from neurobiology, and computational modeling."
"Neurons play the most vital role since the main point is to establish an understanding of cognition from a neural perspective."
"Methods employed in cognitive neuroscience include experimental procedures from psychophysics and cognitive psychology, functional neuroimaging, electrophysiology, cognitive genomics, and behavioral genetics."
"These damages change the neural circuits in the brain and cause it to malfunction during basic cognitive processes, such as memory or learning."

"Cognitive neuroscience relies upon theories in cognitive science coupled with evidence from neurobiology and computational modeling."
"Cognitive abilities based on brain development are studied and examined under the subfield of developmental cognitive neuroscience."
