 Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary approach to understanding nervous systems at levels from the molecular and cellular to the whole organism. Areas of research currently represented in the Department include biophysical properties of excitable membranes; synaptic structure and function; changes in nervous system with experience; interactions of nervous and endocrine systems; and sensory and motor integrative processes.

UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM

Students interested in neuroscience can obtain training in behavioral neuroscience, neurobiology, and neurochemistry through the Neuroscience major leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree. The Neuroscience major is an intercollege major offered by the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. See Neuroscience Undergraduate Major section.

GRADUATE CURRICULUM

Courses and research in neuroscience are offered by the interdepartmental graduate program in Neuroscience. See Neuroscience Graduate Study section.
