Overview

Key Features

Neuroscience at Stony Brook University is one of the most active areas in modern biology. Neuroscientists investigate the most complex and fascinating object in the universe, the brain: how it evolved, how it develops, and how it gives rise to our thoughts, emotions and memories. 

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field, ranging from studies of the structure and workings of single proteins, to analyses of the whole-brain activity of living animals and people. Not only biologists and psychologists, but also students of engineering, physics, mathematics and computation can apply their knowledge and techniques to understanding the brain. So how can you learn more?

Students from Stony Brook University  who would like to take a general introduction to Neuroscience should consider BIO 208 Cell, Brain and Mind. BIO 208 is a broad survey of neuroscience, suited to any student who has completed at least one college-level biology course.
