Neuroscience is a vast field of study containing a range of narrower subfields. Each involves a spotlight on the brain and other parts of the nervous system, connecting them to one or more zones of ...
What makes us think the way we do? How do our brains influence our behavior and vice versa? You can help answer these questions and more when you study the neurobiology of behavior. Discover the ...
Brains are the most complex systems in the universe, but their basic building blocks are surprisingly simple — the complexity arises from billions of neurons, axons and synapses working together.
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary major that explores the neural basis of behavior through psychology, chemistry, philosophy, molecular biology, cellular biology and many other disciplines. The ...
The Systems and Behavioral Neuroscience group includes students and faculty from diverse fields whose fundamental goal is to understand the biological basis of behavior. This multidisciplinary group ...
Cognitive function, behavior, and their links to health outcomes are at the forefront of modern neuroscience research. Recent years have seen significant ...
In the wake of the pandemic, rates of depression and anxiety among young people have risen, leading to a mental health crisis in our schools and more disruptive classroom behavior. Based on current ...
