Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, from the cells that form it to the actions and behaviours it produces. It brings together studies in biology, chemistry and physics with those in behaviour, anatomy and physiology. Neuroscientists seek to improve our understanding of the brain and the body, how they function and the health issues that affect them.

The Neuroscience major covers the structure of the nervous system, how it operates at the cellular level through to the whole system, and the common pathologies that affect it. You’ll learn about the nervous system from developmental, molecular and cellular, behavioural and cognitive neuroscience perspectives, and you’ll explore the interactions between the nervous system and other body systems. You’ll also learn about the common injuries and pathologies that affect the nervous system, and how they’re treated now and will be in the future.
