Biological Sciences (Neuroscience)

About this course

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, from the molecules and cells that make neurons function to the circuits and systems that generate perception, movement, memory, and consciousness. It is one of the most rapidly advancing areas of biology, driven by new technologies for recording and imaging neural activity and by a growing understanding of how alterations in nervous system structure and function produce neurological and psychiatric conditions. Understanding the brain and nervous system is not only one of the great intellectual challenges of our time but a prerequisite for developing effective treatments for conditions from Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's to depression and epilepsy. At Leicester this three-year full-time biological sciences programme with a neuroscience specialism provides a grounding in the biological sciences alongside deep engagement with
