Neuroscience DOES INVESTIGATING THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM PIQUE YOUR INTEREST? How about the nature
of cognition or research related to neurological disorders? A major in Neuroscience can expose you to finding the scientific answers to these questions and many more, with the guidance of talented faculty who will expose you to the fundamental understanding of the nervous system in development, at a cellular and molecular level to higher brain functions in support of cognition and behavior. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that draws from a number of scientific disciplines, including medicine, biology, psychology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and biomedical engineering. While the home of the major is here at the College of Arts & Sciences, the teaching faculty and Steering Committee come from several schools and departments including the Miller School of Medicine and the Departments of Psychology and Biology. 40
