神经科学是一个研究领域，涵盖中枢神经系统的发育，结构和功能及其与影响/调节行为的联系。神经科学研究涉及以下主题：神经解剖学，神经系统生理学，细胞和电路，分子神经科学，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，计算神经科学和神经功能障碍和疾病。神经科学的跨学科性质需要生物学，遗传学，生理学，分子生物学，化学（普通，有机和生物化学），物理学，工程学，心理学（行为，记忆，认知，感觉和感知）方面的经验和培训所提供的工具，统计学，微积分以及研究设计和分
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 topics such as neuroanatomy, physiology of nervous system, cells and circuits, molecular neuroscience, 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 provided by experience and training in biology, genetics, physiology, molecular biology, chemistry (general, organic, and biochemistry), physics, engineering, psychology (behavior, memory, cognition, sensation, and perception), statistics, calculus, and research design and analysis.<br><br>Career Opportunities - A major in neuroscience prepares students to pursue advanced degrees in neuroscience or biological and non-biological fields related to neuroscience or to enter into the pharmaceutical and biotechnology workforce. Neuroscience provides outstanding preparation for students seeking admittance into professional programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic, or pharmacy or preprofessional field of study for those interested in health professions, law, or business. Graduates of the program also have the academic skills for careers in business, consulting, global health, government and policy, non-profit programs, research and writing and publishing.
