What is the relationship between behavior and biology? How can that relationship best be observed and studied? What does it reveal about ourselves, our culture, our health, even our technology? These are the questions posed and pursued by neuroscience, the multidisciplinary study of the nervous system.
The brain is our most fascinating and complicated organ. It is the very seat of our identity, and it has been an object of scientific study and speculation for millennia. Contemporary neuroscientists, however, are able to draw on a new generation of technology as well as the scientific methods of biology and chemistry to investigate the behavior-biology link more deeply than ever before.
The study of the nervous system has a clear, practical impact on advances in mental and physical health, child development and aging, medicine, education and many other fields. By drawing on a range of research disciplines, neuroscience is also uniquely positioned to demonstrate the ways in which psychology, biology and chemistry intersect with philosophy, mathematics and – increasingly – computer science.
The study of neuroscience at Hamilton began as a psychobiology program in 1976. It was one of the first such undergraduate programs in the nation. The program's title was changed in 1998, and today it is one of the most comprehensive U.S. undergraduate programs in neuroscience, with courses in neuroplasticity, neurochemistry and psychophysics.
Hamilton's neuroscience program has dimensions far beyond that of the conventional classroom. Faculty members are active scholars and researchers who often collaborate with students on research, publications and presentations. In the neuroscience program, undergraduates can make vital contributions to the field right away.
Drawing on psychology, biology, chemistry and other fields, the neuroscience program typically draws more majors than any other interdisciplinary concentration at the College.
Housed in the College's state-of-the-art Science Center, the Departments of Psychology and Biology provide the sophisticated facilities, apparatus and computers that at many colleges and universities are available only to graduate students.
