I think a lot of CogSci is being driven by neural networking technologies in computer algorithim development, even though I'm not sure which path of psychology they follow most closely. Regardless, they tend to develop their algorithims independently of most psychological research, but I don't actually know what they do.
Although to be honest, I wouldn't know the difference between what they call Cognitive Neuroanatomy and Neutroscience from Psychoneurobiology without actually going to look up how they define things. UCSD however appears not to offer neurobiology as an undergraduate option, preserving it for graduate school, and leaving the neurobiology focus of Cognitive Science as the closest thing I can find.
I can't swear to that though...trying to keep the UCSD catalog straight tends to involve a lot of beating one's head against a wall.
