Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Neuroscience] From Drew University

One area of strength in the program at Drew University is its employment of laboratory and research experiences. Drew?s technologically sophisticated neuroscience laboratories are designed to give students broad access to applied experiences in studying the brain.?

All majors take laboratory courses in which they image live neurons with fluorescent microscopy, measure brain chemicals in animals, and examine changes in brain morphology due to drug exposure, and use computers to study neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and for data collection, statistical analysis and graphic presentations.

Research:

• potential treatments for dementia

• brain responses to stress

• olfactory system organization

• drug addiction

• models of visual processing

Investigate:

• cellular, behavioral and computational neuroscience
