Neurocognition

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neurocognition is a branch of cognitive science that deals with the question of how cognitive functions in the brain of humans and animals come about. On the cognitive abilities of the human brain, for example, include attention , memory , learning , creativity , abstract planning , orientation , Imagination (imagination), reasoning , introspection (introspection), will and faith .

Put simply, neurocognition deals with the processing of information that the brain or nervous system receives. Artificial neural networks are used to investigate how cognitive processes are implemented in the brain . Intelligent activities can thus be represented as operations in neural networks.

Neurocognition is an interface science between cellular neurobiology and cognitive psychology .

Neurocognitive deficits are present in a number of mental illnesses, such as autism or schizophrenia .
