40 credits at the upper-level
-
gain the theoretical background necessary for exploring the fundamental questions that neuroscience researchers in the fields of biology, chemistry and psychology ask when studying the brain.
-
develop familiarity with major theories and research methodologies that underlie current neuroscience research.
-
learn the major topics involved in an understanding of the neuroscientific foundations of human and animal behavior and how the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as the endocrine system relate to these behaviors.
-
be able to develop testable hypotheses, design experiments to test hypotheses and conduct experiments including data collection, analysis, interpretations and presentation. They will also be able to effectively search computer databases for relevant literature (primary and secondary) on scientific topics.
-
understand and be able to critically evaluate research literature in neuroscience.
-
engage in academic activities that support the important interdisciplinary connections in neuroscience research and theories.
