Biological, Behavioral, AND Cognitive Science (BBCS) - Interrelatedness of subcomponents in Neuroscience

Biology, behaviorism, and cognition are all interrelated!

Biology maybe something that we don't control directly, but we can control (encourage) it indirectly through our implicit and explicit actions: our outlooks (cognition) are implicit actions and our behaviors (behaviorism) are explicit actions.

Cognition puts control (not a binary one or zero, but a continuation of influence) of our life back into our hands.

Our outlooks affect our behaviors, and our behaviors influence our biology (through processes that neuroscientists call Long-term Potentiation or LTP), which, in-turn, affects all three.


We build who we become, through our actions.


What? We, simultaneously, don't control AND do control our life (lives) in various ways?


Yes!
