Neuroscience

Chair Anne C. Hart Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, including its development, functions, and pathologies. It is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses neurobiology (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics), elements of psychology and cognitive science, and mathematical and physical principles involved in modeling neural systems. The Department of Neuroscience offers an undergraduate concentration leading to the Sc.B. degree and a graduate program leading to the Ph.D. degree. These programs include courses offered by the department and by several allied departments. The Department of Neuroscience has modern facilities for conducting research in a broad range of areas from molecular mechanisms to behavior and undergraduate students are encouraged to pursue research projects.
