Neuroscience at Dartmouth is an interdisciplinary field that explores fundamental questions about the brain and its functions, such as how memories are stored, the biological basis of consciousness, and the neural underpinnings of decision-making and mental illness. The program integrates knowledge from psychology and biology with insights from computer science, chemistry, engineering, and medicine. Students in the neuroscience program gain a strong foundation through coursework and have significant opportunities to participate in research. This hands-on experience with neuroscience research methods, including laboratory work, allows students to engage in independent research projects under the mentorship of faculty members, contributing to the rapid advancements in this dynamic field.
