What is neuroscience ?
Neuroscience encompasses the study of the nervous system of animals and humans. It probes the intricate machinery of the nervous system in an attempt to understand how we think, move, perceive, learn and remember. Today, it plays a fundamental role in medicine because of the debilitating and costly effects of neurological and psychiatric disease.
What will you study?
Neuroscience links neurobiology with cognitive science and, as a result, courses are provided by several departments within the Faculties of Science, Health Sciences and Humanities. It involves in-depth instruction in the fundamentals of modern molecular and cellular biology, as well as on the structure and operation of the nervous system.
Other courses include the development of the nervous system, its response to injury and disease, and the relationship of the brain to behaviour. You will also be trained in scientific methodology and experimental design, data handling and resource skills.
