Upon successful completion of the neuroscience major, students should have the ability to:
- Discuss different topics in neuroscience from multiple levels of organization (e.g., explain how the destruction of myelin in people with multiple sclerosis leads to cognitive and motor deficits);
- Describe the basic features of nervous system development, organization, signaling, integration, and higher-level processing;
- Explain the neural basis of behavior, including sensory-motor integration, learning, and the generation of complex behaviors;
- Generate a testable hypothesis and develop a controlled experimental design;
- Employ modern scientific measurement techniques;
- Conceive of, implement, and present an original research project, and;
- Write an original research paper.
