Neuroscience at Grinnell


The Neuroscience Concentration was introduced in spring 2006. The new concentration will expose students to the major problems in the field of neuroscience and give them some experience in the various modes of inquiry that are used to solve these problems. The concentration provides students a unique opportunity to integrate diverse approaches and principles from across the natural sciences and beyond the natural sciences to address complex questions about the function of the nervous system.

The core course NRS 250 – Neuroscience: Foundations, Future, and Fallacies – will be offered for the first time in the spring of 2007; however, if you think the Neuroscience Concentration is of interest, you should begin thinking about the various requirements, which include two laboratory-based 100-level science courses (pre-requisites for NRS 250) and any introductory-level prequisites for the cross-divisional elective course.
