Neuroscience

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary area of study that focuses on understanding the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This rapidly expanding field seeks to answer questions related to brain and behavioral development, normal brain function, and disease processes. Overlaps exist with other disciplines such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, pharmacology, and physics, and there are important links with social sciences and humanities. An introductory course is offered in addition to courses that focus on the fundamental areas of neuroscience and contemporary issues related to the social sciences and humanities.
