Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Neuroscience

Neuroscience is a field of study that integrates psychology, biology, physics, and chemistry for the common goal of understanding the structure, development and function of the brain and nervous system. Through research, neuroscientists are able to describe the normal function of electrical tissue. For example, improving understanding of the brain allows to understand and find ways to prevent or treat many devastating neurological and psychiatric disorders. Students majoring in neuroscience will have access to a range of tools including behavioral testing, electrophysiology, histology, and molecular biology, as they participate first-hand in basic exploratory research. Students are involved in all stages of research including project design, data collection and results reporting. This major is housed in a research-rich environment that supports a curriculum steeped in scientific investigation, where students and faculty work as partners in research and education.
