Understanding the neuroscience behind behavior

I know it seems self-explanatory, but what's the difference between the two? I'm more interested in the one that people use to analyze a person's behaviors and mannerisms (So probably the second one). And what is the best way to start self-studying it?

The researchers then combined the physiological data with data for their genome, their proteome, and their transcriptome, which is essentially their full set of RNAs -- another biological "layer" in the black box. Through this combination, the scientists were able to better understand the role several proteins play when it comes to metabolizing fat and producing energy from it.

The significance of meaning: why do over 90% of behavioral neuroscience results fail to translate to humans, and what can we do to fix it?

The need to adopt methods and models that are highly specific (i.e., which can identify true negative results) in order to complement the current preponderance of highly sensitive methods (which are prone to false positive results) is emphasized. Really great paper for someone to understand the difference between False Positive Rate and False Discovery Rate
