Involvement in the Interdisciplinary Minor in Neuroscience allows you to directly study these questions at Loyola University Chicago.
NEUROSCIENCE: THE INTERDISCIPLINARY NEUROSCIENCE MINOR
These questions are just a few that neuroscience wrestles with. Loyola university has many programs and faculty studying the nervous system as a basis for behavior. Many of these programs house some of the world's leading neuroscientists. Now these programs and faculty are available to undergraduates. The Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Minor provides students course work, laboratory training and experience (in a state-of-the-art neuroscience teaching facility), and exposure to the many neuroscience programs at the Lake Shore and Medical School campuses. The Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Minor brings Loyola undergraduates to the Medical Center and expertise from the Medical Center to the Lake Shore Campus. Involvement in the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Minor might provide answers to some of these questions, and it will allow you to directly study these questions at Loyola.
