      Neuro means of the nervous system (brain related). A neuroscientist is someone deals with nervous system issues. This could be anatomical brain diseases, genetic diseases that lead to brain diseases or molecular level drug discoveries.

      A neuroscientist studies the human nervous system. This can involve looking at specific cells or the whole brain and all the amazing connections inside! That’s all I can say really- I’m better with palaeontology.
