UNC’s BS in Neuroscience immerses students in cellular, systems, and cognitive approaches to the brain. Majors employ two-photon imaging, optogenetics, and fMRI in labs investigating addiction, pain, and language. Cross-listed electives span computer science, philosophy, and biomedical engineering, encouraging students to model neural networks and debate neuroethics. The program feeds competitive MD-PhD, biotech, and AI-research pipelines.
