Which scientist studies mental processes and behavior?

Before the advent of brain imaging technology, the study of mental processes and behavior was the province of psychologists and psychiatrists. Anatomists could study the physical structure of the brain, but few techniques existed to link structure to behavior.Today we have various brain imaging techniques, including fMRI, PET, CAT and others that allow us to look inside the living brain and make connections between structure and mental processes and behavior. Neuroscientists are probably most associated with this type of research, but many aspects of neuroscience have been adopted by other fields so that we now have neuropsychologists, neuroanatomists, neurobehaviorists and others who use the techniques and knowledge of neuroscience to improve understanding in their own field.
