Neuroscience

About this course

Neuroscience is the scientific investigation of the nervous system, examining how the brain and its components work at every level, from the electrical behaviour of individual neurons to the complex circuits that generate perception, memory, emotion, and conscious experience. It is one of the most rapidly developing areas of contemporary science, driven by new tools for recording and manipulating brain activity that are revealing the mechanisms of mind in unprecedented detail. At the same time, neuroscience has direct implications for understanding and treating conditions including depression, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and dementia, making it both a fundamental and an applied science. At the University of York, this three-year full-time degree is taught jointly by the Departments of Biology and Psychology, which means you learn from researchers working at the frontier of the discipline a
