| The program is interdisciplinary, building on existing strengths in the Departments of Psychology, Biology, Medical Sciences, Biochemistry and Microbiology, and the School of Exercise Science, and Physical and Health Education. The program will produce students who have a research-based background in either cellular or cognitive neurosciences, reflecting the two major neuroscience research streams at UVic. The program is designed to emphasize connections between the core areas (learning and memory, synaptic function, developmental neuroscience, sensory motor systems, disease and injury) and to encourage students to develop competencies in more than one area. |
