Neuroscience

Neuroscience is one of the most exciting and fastest growing scientific fields, it lends itself to be studied across many disciplines, and it asks some of the most fundamental questions in science today.

Neuroscience can provide insights into a myriad of aspects including consciousness, emotional processing, dysfunctional brain circuits and psychopathology, and neurobiological perspectives on creativity.
