神经科学是对中枢神经系统的发育和功能及其与影响/调节行为的联系的研究。对神经科学的研究考察了神经解剖学，神经系统生理学，生物化学，遗传学，神经药理学，神经影像学，系统和行为神经科学，发育神经科学，社会神经科学，认知，生物工程，计算神经科学以及神经功能障碍和疾病。对MS科学学位课程的目的是对神经科学领域的当前概念有深刻的理解。论文研究项目教授科学探究的基础知识，并培训学生最新的研究技术。鼓励将论文提交至同行评审期刊，但这不是必须的。
The neuroscience program at Brigham Young University provides excellent interdisciplinary training in the classroom as well as experience in laboratory research settings and internships for both graduate and undergraduate students.<br>Neuroscience is the field of study that encompasses the development, structure, and function of the central nervous system and its connection to influencing/regulating behavior. The study of neuroscience examines neuroanatomy, physiology of the nervous system, biochemistry, genetics, neuropharmacology, neuroimaging, systems and behavioral neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, social neuroscience, cognition, bioengineering, computational neuroscience, and neural dysfunction and disease. The interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience requires the tools and training in biology, genetics, physiology, molecular biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, psychology, statistics, calculus, and research design and analysis.
