Neuroscience majors learn how the brain and central nervous system function, from the molecular level through behavior. Students will study the dysfunctional processes associated with neurological diseases and the treatments that can help people live healthier lives. Students will typically start with required classes and labs in biology, chemistry, physiology, neuroscience and related topics, then explore their interests through electives in areas like animal behavior, genetics, hormones and biopsychology.

This program is in UB’s medical school, which means students have access to expert faculty, state-of-the-art labs, research projects and other opportunities through UB's affiliated hospitals and clinics.
