行为神经科学理学学士

行为神经科学计划整合了生物学，化学，数学，物理学和心理学的各个方面，以研究神经系统的结构和功能如何产生正常和异常行为。例如，行为神经科学专业的学生研究正常学习和记忆以及诸如抑郁症，精神分裂症，β和药物滥用等精神疾病的生物学基础。通过心理学系提供的Western的行为神经科学计划，为学生提供了专业的准备，研究机会和技术成熟度，这对于入门级研究和医疗保健职位的成功至关重要。神经科学，医学，牙科和相关学科的研究生培训。
Behavioral neuroscience explores the role of the nervous system in normal and abnormal behavior, thought, and emotion. This major emphasizes an understanding of nervous system structure and function from the molecular/cellular level to the systems level. For example, behavioral neuroscientists study the neurobiological basis of normal learning and memory, psychiatric illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, and drug abuse and neurological illnesses such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Alzheimer's Disease.<br><br>This interdisciplinary field provides students with the specialized preparation and technological sophistication critical for success in a variety of graduate-training programs, including neuroscience, psychology, pharmacology, mental health, and neurobiology, and in health care, including medicine and dentistry. For those students who do not anticipate pursuing post-graduate education, the degree program provides an excellent platform for entry-level positions in such areas as biomedical research and the pharmaceutical industry.
