Systems neuroscience is a subdiscipline of neuroscience and systems biology that studies the structure and function of various neural circuits and systems that make up the central nervous system of an organism. Systems neuroscience encompasses a number of areas of study concerned with how nerve cells behave when connected together to form neural pathways, neural circuits, and larger brain networks. At this level of analysis, neuroscientists study how different neural circuits work together to analyze sensory information, form perceptions of the external world, form emotions, make decisions, and execute movements.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Spatial scale of nervous systems. (A) Nervous systems span many spatial scales, from molecules at the sub-micron level to whole-brain networks that span centimeters or more. (B) Each level of the nervous system requires distinct imaging and recording modalities to measure its relevant neural activity, presenting challenges to integration across modalities.
