Neuroscience offers an in-depth and methodical study of the nervous system, investigating how molecules, cells, and neural networks interact to shape behavior and cognition. This discipline spans various biological scales, from molecular and cellular processes to intricate behavioral and cognitive functions. At W&M, you'll build a strong foundation through interdisciplinary coursework before specializing with advanced classes like applied cellular neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, and psychopharmacology.
Our program unites researchers from diverse fields dedicated to teaching and studying the brain, mind, and nervous system functions. Neuroscience examines biological organization across multiple scales, from cellular physiology to complex cognitive operations. This holistic perspective incorporates comparative, evolutionary, and computational methods to understand human personality, social interactions, and neurological disorders.

Neuroscience is an established track within the interdisciplinary studies major. Students interested in declaring Neuroscience as their major should reach out to Professor Porter in the Psychology Department for guidance.
