Morphology
neuroscientific = scientific (semi-transparent) = neuro + science + ific
The word is clearly built by adding the combining form 'neuro-' to 'scientific', but the resulting meaning is specialized rather than fully predictable for a beginner.
Etymology
Neuroscientific starts with neuro- which means 'nerve' and appears in familiar words like neuron and neurology, and it ends with scientific from science which means 'careful study'. So, neuroscientific means the careful study of the brain and nervous system, which is why we use it for research about how the brain works.
