了解大脑如何执行其功能并引起认知，学习和行为是科学的最后前沿之一。我们正处在对神经科学的浓厚兴趣的时代，科学探究领域的重点是解释大脑如何工作。实际上，神经科学现在已成为国家和国际的主要优先任务。爱荷华大学在爱荷华大学建立的爱荷华州神经科学研究所（INI）彰显了这一势头，并表明了我们致力于成为著名的神经科学研究和教育中心的承诺。神经科学本科学位为健康科学，医学，研究生院和生物技术行业的激动人心的机遇打开了大门。神经科学专业的学生有机会获得该专业的荣誉学位，并且不需要UI荣誉计划的会员。有兴趣攻读专业荣誉学位
Understanding how the brain performs its functions and gives rise to cognition, learning, and behavior is one of the last frontiers of science. We are in an era of intense interest in neuroscience, the field of scientific inquiry focused on explaining how the brain works. Indeed, neuroscience is now a major national and international priority. The establishment of the Iowa Neuroscience Institute (INI) at the University of Iowa highlights this momentum and demonstrates our commitment to becoming a renowned hub for neuroscience research and education. An undergraduate degree in neuroscience opens doors to exciting opportunities across the health sciences, medicine, graduate school, and the biotechnology industry.
