Undergraduate Positive Graduate Outcomes. Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. Neuroscience & Animal Behavior. Graduate Program Emphases and Goals The program in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior (NAB) approaches topics within the areas of neuroscience, physiological psychology, acquired behavior, and ethology as a unified entity.

Neuroscience & Animal Behavior

Thus, the emphasis is on behavior as a biological phenomenon. Research in neuroscience and physiological psychology explores brain-behavior relationships; research on acquired behavior studies the on-going and evolutionary factors influencing individual adaptations; and ethological studies are concerned with understanding how animals function in their natural environment. The blend of these concerns in the NAB program represents our conviction that a comprehensive understanding of behavior requires knowledge of the why and how of natural behavior, the manner in which the current environment influences behavior, and the neural and physiological processes underlying both. For more information on the NAB program, please explore the links above.
