Discover the fascinating field of neuroscience and learn to understand the biological basis of behavior.
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that explores the structure and function of the nervous system, from the molecular and cellular levels to complex behavioral processes. It combines principles from biology, psychology, chemistry and medicine to understand how the brain and nervous system influence thoughts, emotions and actions. By studying neuroscience, students gain insights into how the nervous system develops, how it malfunctions in disease and how it can be manipulated to improve health and well-being.
