The interdisciplinary field, "neuroscience," began at MIT in 1962 with the founding of the Neurosciences Research Program (NRP) by Francis O. Schmitt and a group of US and international scientists - physical, biological, medical, and behavioral - interested in understanding the brain basis of behavior and mind. They organized and held specialist meetings of basic topics in neuroscience, and the journal and book publications over the next 20 years, based on these meetings, helped establish the new field.
跨学科领域“神经科学”始于1962年的麻省理工学院,当时弗朗西斯·O·施密特与一群对理解行为和思维的大脑基础感兴趣的美国及国际科学家(包括物理学家、生物学家、医学家以及行为学家)共同创立了神经科学研究项目(NRP)。他们组织并召开了神经科学基础主题的专家会议,在接下来的20年里,基于这些会议出版的期刊和书籍推动了这一新领域的建立。
