Bachelor of Arts - Neuroscience - Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience track
About Bachelor of Arts - Neuroscience - Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience track
Neuroscience is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of study whose primary focus is understanding the neural mechanisms that regulate mental processes and behavior in both humans and animals. At Ohio Wesleyan University, the neuroscience program combines courses in Psychology, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics and Computer Science to provide students adequate preparation for graduate study and a career in the field of neuroscience or a related discipline.
The Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience track aligns closely with students interested in studying the brain from a “top-down” approach that investigates complex behaviors and functions, especially as related to human behavior, and determines the cellular and molecular underpinning of these behaviors.
The Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience track aligns closely with students interested in studying the brain from a “bottom-up” approach that investigates the cell biology of brain cells, genetic regulation, and the interactions of molecules (e.g. protein, DNA, RNA) in these cells, and how these interactions give rise to more complex behaviors.
Computational Neuroscience involves both mathematically modeling neurobiological processes and studying the means by which neural systems process information, which requires strong training in math, physics, and computer science.
Neuroscience majors must declare either the Behavioral/Cognitive Track or the Molecular/Cellular Track. The requirements for either track have significant course overlap to ensure all majors have the same “core” knowledge.
