According to the World Health Organization, one in three people is affected by neurological conditions. Tarleton State will now help meet the growing need for access to an affordable education in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese groundbreaking steps will propel Tarleton students and faculty further into the neuroscience arena, offering expanded opportunities to contribute to the future of science, industry and medicine,\u201d stated Dr. Amber Bozer, Head of the Department of Neuroscience. \u201cWe are now welcoming more explorers of the nervous system to the frontier of discovery, where curiosity intersects with neuroscientific inquiry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several new and existing faculty members will join the neuroscience department with focused research in neuromuscular and biomechanical responses, the impact of drugs on the brain, and sensory-motor neurointegration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing the degree program will open pathways to careers in neuroscience, including but not limited to laboratory research, pharmaceuticals, biostatistics and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university is furnished with neuroimaging research labs and equipment, giving students cutting-edge classroom experiences that strengthen their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to learning inside the classroom by majoring or minoring in neuroscience, students can join the Neuroscience Club to connect with others who share their interest in the complexities of the nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
