Neuroscience Research
We seek to understand
how the nervous sytem functions,
biochemically and physiologically, in normal and disordered systems,
and how this function manifests as behavior. Neuroscience is a rapidly
growing field of study. An excellent

Funding for Neuroscience research comes from a variety of sources,
the National Institutes of
Health and National
Science Foundation
being two major providers of funding.
