'Neurobiology' is the study of [[cell (biology)|cell]]s of the [[nervous system]] and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior.<ref>Shepard, G. M. (1994). Neurobiology. 3rd Ed. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-508843-3</ref> It is a subdiscipline of both [[biology]] and [[neuroscience]]. Neurobiology differs from neuroscience, a much broader field that is concerned with any scientific study of the nervous system. Neurobiology should also not be confused with other subdisciplines of neuroscience such as [[computational neuroscience]], [[cognitive neuroscience]], [[behavioral neuroscience]], [[biological psychiatry]], [[neurology]], and [[neuropsychology]] despite the overlap with these subdisciplines. Scientists that study neurobiology are called [[neurobiologists]].
