Neuroscience is an exceptionally diverse and interdisciplinary scientific field. This wide-ranging scope represents one of the discipline's greatest assets, making it particularly appealing for advanced academic study. Since its founding, the University of California at Irvine (UCI) has maintained a strong neuroscience tradition, cultivating an outstanding community of researchers. UCI's neuroscience program spans numerous disciplines including biology, chemistry, molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, psychology, embryology, electrical engineering, computer science, and physics. What makes UCI unique is its closely-knit network of scientists who frequently collaborate, creating an ideal environment for investigating the nervous system's complex functions. The Anatomy and Neurobiology department specializes in examining core aspects of nervous system structure and operation, with particular attention to developmental processes and injury responses. Their research employs cellular, molecular, and systems-level methodologies.
