Neurosystems Concentration
For Majors wishing to focus on the nervous system, systems
electrophysiology (neural electronic systems), neural information and
control systems, or molecular and cellular neurosystems. Required
course work consists of a common CORE, plus a coherent selection of
coursework consisting of 14 or more additional units in one of 3 subareas
or a coherent combination of these subareas. Courses must be selected
in consultation with a faculty mentor and approved by the program chair.
