<p>What's the difference between psychobiology and neuroscience?</p>
<p>google.com</p>
<p>psychobiology is an older branch. Started 100-150 years ago? when some psychologists decided to explore the biological basis of psychological phenomenon. Neuroscience is extremely young, maybe 30-50 years? And it is much more biology-based, much more interdisciplinary. You have people from all fields of biomedical research (geneticists, cell biologists, etc) turning into neuroscience research.</p>
<p>Psychobiology more concentrates on how what's happening in the brain actually affects the body. Whereas, neuroscience mainly concentrates on what is happening in the brain.</p>
<p>There isn't too much of a difference. They're not entirely separate fields. In terms of majors, colleges choose whichever name they like. You have to look at the particular program to figure out if it's more science- or psychology-based.</p>
