神经科学概述

神经科学是 an interdisciplinary field that builds on the foundations of the natural and physical sciences, 还有心理学, to examine the structure and function of the nervous system at the molecular, 细胞, 有机体的, 以及社会层面. Building from a broad base of knowledge in biology, 心理学, mathematics, and chemistry, students will apply their neuroscience learning to develop skills in written and oral communication, experimental design and interpretation, 以及临床决策.
