Why do you remember some details but not others? How does your arm know to move based on your thoughts? How do your upbringing and genetics affect your cognitive ability? Why are some folks more biologically resistant to medication than others? These are just a few of the core questions you will explore as a neuroscience student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a deeply interdisciplinary field, you will take courses in biology<\/a> (e.g., Neurodegenerative Disorders), psychology<\/a> (e.g., Physiological Psychology), philosophy<\/a> (e.g., Logic and Reasoning), and computer science<\/a> (e.g., Cognitive Science) as you learn about neuroanatomy and its role in human behavior.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wide breadth of coursework required for a neuroscience concentration will prepare you for a variety of careers, including in medicine, pharmaceuticals, artificial intelligence and cognitive science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
