neuroscientific
Concerning neural study
Neuroscientific describes things relating to neuroscience—the study of the brain and nervous system.
Research is neuroscientific when it investigates neural structures, brain function, or the biological basis of behavior: neuroscientific evidence, neuroscientific methods, a neuroscientific approach to understanding addiction.
