CNS

Central Neuroscience Society

    The purpose of this organization is to increase student awareness of current research in the field of neuroscience and facilitate interdepartmental participation in neuroscience research.

    The brain lies at the core of human experience. It controls the smile of a baby, the complex calculations of an Albert Einstein, the rage of a criminal, and the coordinated movements of an athlete. Neuroscience is the scientific study of the brain and nervous system, in health and disease. By understanding how brain works, we can gain a better understanding of personality and potential treatments or cures for diseases like Parkinson's, Huntington's or Alzheimer's. As such neuroscience offers enormous promises for all humanity far into the foreseeable future.

    Scientific study of the brain requires the skills of many different disciplines. Thus, this major is interdisciplinary and interdepartmental. The faculties are biologists, psychologists, biochemists, mathematicians, and engineers, all of whom share a fascination with the function of the brain. The brain is studied at many different levels, including the molecular and cellular levels, the level of systems of neurons, and at the behavioral level.

    If you are interested in science, health or human behavior and enjoy discovering new things, perhaps you should consider to join our society to learn and share the utter joy of learning and discovering and rival through cutting edge research to discover new things. One day, your research may contribute to an improved quality of life for all of society.
