WELCOME TO THE SKIDMORE COLLEGE NEUROSCIENCE PROGRAM!
WHAT IS NEUROSCIENCE ALL ABOUT?
Neuroscience is the scientific community's effort to understand the mechanisms that give rise to thoughts, motives, and behavior. Neuroscientists investigate the connections between events that occur at the subcellular level (molecular genetics and molecular biology), the cellular level (electrophysiology, cell histology), the systems level (developmental biology, neurophysiology, functional anatomy) and the behavior of the whole organism (animal behavior, cognitive psychology). Addressing the fundamental questions of neuroscience is thus a thoroughly interdisciplinary endeavor that blurs traditional barriers between such specialties.
