Welcome to the UAB Undergraduate Neuroscience Program web site.This program provides a focus for undergraduate activity in the many facets of Neuroscience at UAB. Neuroscience seeks to understand how the nervous system functions, at levels ranging from molecules to genes to cells to brain systems serving cognitive functions and behavior. The field of Neuroscience is growing explosively with dramatic progress being made at all levels of analysis of nervous system function.

UAB has world-class Neuroscientists and their presence provides the platform for an innovative, interdisciplinary program that offers a broad perspective of the field of Neuroscience in coursework, as well as research, in cellular and molecular, systems, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. Established in 2008 in response to the growing interest in Neuroscience among undergraduates and the consequent need to coordinate coursework and research opportunities, the UAB Undergraduate Neuroscience Program is an interdisciplinary program between the Neurobiology Department in the School of Medicine and the Psychology Department in the College of Arts and Sciences.
