How does the nervous system interact with the ways that human and non-human animals think, feel, communicate, develop and behave? This is a core question that brings together a diverse faculty of active scholars at Bucknell who teach courses across the neuroscience curriculum and conduct high-quality research with students. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary major with course offerings from biology, psychology, animal behavior, linguistics, chemistry, mathematics, physics and biomedical engineering. The neuroscience major is intended to give students opportunities through coursework and research experiences to study the nervous system and its development and influence on behavior (broadly defined). Our faculty are productive scholars who involve students in their research programs; we view research experience as a key aspect to the learning process.
