If your country has "democratic" in the name it's probably not democratic. If your major has "science" in the name it's probably not science. If your company has "don't be evil" in its motto...

That's why it should just be under neurology.

isn't neurology more to do with the physiological aspect? Neuroscience is a bit more like behavioural psychology.

Is that really an argument in favor of it being a science? Isn't behavioral psych going through a "replication crisis"?

The "-logy" comes from Greek which means science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-logy and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE%B3%CE%AF%CE%...

What about Scientology which has both science and ology? Is it science science?

I think that's like a double negative. Which would imply that Scientology actually IS science, which is ridiculous of course. I think "science" in the title only means "not science" when conveyed in the language you're currently using.

No. It’s saying that GP has completely miscategorised notwithstanding your clumsy strawman.

A common misconception! It's actually the science of the color cyan, but people kept mispronouncing "Cyantology". ;)

What "strawman"? You introduced behavioral psych to the discussion. You seem more certain now, however...

neuroscience is physiological, but it deals with the study of neurons and neuronal systems rather than the output of behaviors. I always thought neurology was more of a medical field application of neuroscience.

behavioral psychology is NOT neuroscience behavioral neuroscience is different than behavioral psychology
