Neuroscience

Faculty of Mathematics and Science Bachelor of Science

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system and how it generates behaviour in animals and humans.

You’ll study the link between neural function and behaviour at many levels by using techniques in molecular genetics, biochemistry, cellular physiology, neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, pharmacology, behavioural biology, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology and kinesiology. You’ll also assist in active neuroscience laboratory research dealing with humans and non-humans.

Brock has the longest established undergraduate Neuroscience program in Canada. Since 1991, our program has grown and now includes five streams of study: Neurobiology, Neuropsychology, Neurocomputing, Neuromotor, and Environmental Neuroscience.
