Neurobiology and Behavior
The Intellectual Basis: Neurobiology seeks to unveil the biological mechanisms through which nervous systems influence behavior. The MBB Track in Neuroscience (formerly Neurobiology) aims to equip students with the necessary tools to study nervous systems from molecular levels to behavioral outcomes. Neuroscientists delve into understanding the brain's impact on behavior and cognitive functions, exploring both normal and abnormal neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
Areas of focus within neuroscience include:
- Neurophysiology
- Neuroanatomy
- Neuropharmacology
- Behavioral neuroscience
- Developmental neuroscience
- Cognitive neuroscience
- Systems neuroscience
- Molecular neuroscience
