• The behavioral neuroscience curriculum focuses on the biological bases underlying behavior under normal and pathological states. The program combines the disciplines of biology and psychology with a strong background in basic physical sciences and mathematics to understand how the behavior of humans and animals is controlled by physiological systems. Students gain a solid foundation in the anatomical and functional specializations of the brain and neural mechanisms from neurons to circuits to networks.
  • Students then choose from a range of advanced electives, including those that make up the behavioral neuroscience core, to delve deeply into diverse specializations and current topics in the field.
