• The BS in at George Mason University prepares students for graduate-level study in both medical school and doctoral and master's-level programs in neuroscience and other health-related fields, and work in the neuroscience field.
  • The neuroscience faculty at Mason comprises a blend of traditional experimental and theoretical scientists.
  • They work in many departments across the university, including psychology, molecular neuroscience, molecular and microbiology, electrical engineering, physics and astronomy, and computational biology and bioinformatics. 
  • The research of neuroscience faculty focuses on the broad areas of behavior, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, computational modeling, and informatics.
  • Some of the key research initiatives currently underway at George Mason University include:
    • effects of drugs and alcohol on behavioral and neurological development.
    • cellular organization and connections of sensory processing areas in fish.
    • biochemical dynamics in disorders of the basal ganglia.
    • computational methods for simulation of complex biological systems.
    • description and generation of neuronal morphology.
    • adaptive control for stabilization of epilepsy.
    • role of metals in memory and Alzheimer’s disease.
    • biochemical/metabolic simulations at the organism level.
    • cellular and sub-cellular models of associative learning.
