An Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Major/Minor in Neuroscience

A truly interdisciplinary environment for discovery and learning is essential for understanding the organization and function of nerve cells and nervous systems, as well as the organismal behaviors they produce, including human cognition. At Duke University, the experience in neuroscience for undergraduates is nurtured in just such a collaborative environment, where the perspectives of multiple disciplines are brought together to explore the brain sciences and their impact on real-world problems.

Explore our program and discover why the study of neuroscience at Duke University is one of the most exciting and satisfying adventures that an education in the liberal arts and sciences can offer!

Student Spotlight

Student Name

Katy Wood , Trinity '12, Neuroscience (Bachelor of Arts)

Hometown: Atlanta, GA

Research: I am working in the lab of Dr. Schramm-Sapyta, studying drug addiction and impulsivity in rodent models. Specifically, I'm using DREADDs to explore a neural circuit involved in impulsivity.

Thoughts: I'm very excited about new techniques like optogenetics and DREADDs that offer remote neuronal control through light and designer drugs, and I hope that these novel tools will help us gain a better understanding of impulsivity related disorders, like ADHD and addiction.
