Overview

The Neuroscience programme from University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign seeks to understand the causes of a variety of disorders, from neurodevelopmental to neurodegenerative disorders, from brain cancer to epilepsy, and to develop biomedical treatments for them.

As a neuroscience student, you’ll take a variety of cutting-edge courses and develop critically-important laboratory skills. They use model organisms like fruit flies, fish, and mice and we will explore cells at all levels, from the dish to cells functioning in animals.

Students conduct research alongside faculty who lead pioneering programmes in sensory processing, neuroendocrinology, physiology of neurons and glia, regeneration, and cell signaling with advanced techniques, such as optogenetics and neuroimaging.
