? That would still be biology and therefore reducible to chemistry and physics.
The approach of "everything is reducible to physics" is actually a philosophical theory that tries to describe what is reality. Is the material world everything that exists? Or are our thoughts (our knowing of things) actually a different reality? Etc.
In the end, the differentiation into the different sciences is simply an aid for people. I wouldn't pay it that much attention because it really doesn't tell you anything.
What would still be biology?
Neuroscience is either in medicine or in biology. And following the weird meme of science hierarchy, neuroscience is just biology.
It reduces to biology. That's why it's a hard science. Saying it's just biology is like saying biology is just chemistry.
