Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience - Cognitive Behavioral

The Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Majors and Minor provide students with an unusual flexibility: for students committed to in-depth neuroscience education, they can major in either of two tracks: a cognitivebehavioral track that emphasizes the outcome of neural processing and circuit level mechanisms, and a molecularcellular track that emphasizes the genetic, biochemical, and cell biological underpinnings of the development and function of the nervous system. Students who wish to focus on another area of study, but gain substantial exposure to the field of neuroscience, may minor in neuroscience. All 3 options require 3 courses in neuroscience fundamentals, Introduction to Neuroscience, Neurobiology, and Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. After completing these courses, students may choose among numerous upper level lecture and lab courses that span the field. In addition, there are currently 12 neuroscientists among the LUC lake shore faculty, providing opportunities for independent undergraduate research. Neuroscientists at the LU Medical Center give talks each year at the Lake Shore Campus, and students are also welcome to arrange research internships with medical school faculty.The B.S. in cognitivebehavioral neuroscience focuses on the neural substrates of cognitive processes and behavior, utilizing methods from cognitive psychology, behavioral analysis, psychobiology, and computer science to account for empirical data about the brain.
