New for fall 2009!
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
Alexandra Parashos, Trinity '10 (Bachelor of Science)
Hometown: Lake City, SC
Research: Independent Study in Dr. Richard Premont's lab: working to help better distinguish the neurological mechanisms and understand the different roles (cognitive and/or behavioral) the GIT1 and GIT2 proteins play in the nervous system and fear signaling networks of the mouse..
Thoughts: My interests concerning neuroscience can best be summarized by Keith Black (quoted in Discover magazine, April, 2004):"If you look at the anatomy, the structure, the function, there's nothing in the universe that's more beautiful, that's more complex, than the human brain."
