神經科學系
Neuroscience is a rapidly growing discipline that acknowledges the remarkable importance of the brain, the most complicated biological machine. Modern neuroscientists have skills suited for a variety of career options including research, education, industry and medicine, to name a few. The field is driven by discovery and translational research that is interdisciplinary in nature and benefits from City University’s strong programs in biomedical sciences, computational science, applied mathematics and engineering. Neuroscience is entering a period of extraordinary opportunity for translating basic findings into treatments for diseases such as stroke, dementia and Parkinson disease. Research is conducted across a broad range of topics from the molecules that underlie neuronal communication to the mechanisms of sensory perception to the events that underlie memory and learning. Major research areas include:
- The physiology and neurochemistry of memory and learning
- Psychophysics of visual and auditory perception
- Normal and abnormal functions of neuronal circuits
- Neurophysiology of animal behavior
- The pathophysiology of nerve and brain injury and repair
- Neuroglial cell functions in normal and disease states
