Neuroscience studies refers to the interdisciplinary study of neuroscience and its relationship to other disciplinary areas. Educational and research methodologies in neuroscience studies are multidisciplinary in nature: drawing from both the approach of neurosciences and the related fields.

Neuroscience studies is the deliberate focus of the points of intersection neuroscience has with other fields of study. As such, neuroscience studies describes an approach to neuroscience education, particularly relevant at the undergraduate level. A central feature in neuroscience studies curricula is an introductory course that works to build in a student critical knowledge in neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neurochemistry, alongside familiarization with the methods employed in these areas. Importantly for this curricular form, explicit focus is drawnon the intersection of neuroscience with other fields, and the role neuroscience has in a liberal arts education. Students therefore spend time examining how the generation of neuroscientific knowledge both informs other disciplines and, in turn, is informed by all sciences and the humanities.
