Neuroscience

神经科学家研究人类的大脑和神经系统. Building from biology, 生物化学与心理学, 神经科学帮助我们理解大脑是如何工作的, 它是如何发生故障的，大脑和神经系统的功能是如何改变的. 神经科学课程是基于国家神经科学课程倡议, a collaboration between educators and neuroscientists that seeks to make core concepts in neuroscience available to a broader audience.

神经科学项目被设计成跨学科的, 反映了神经科学所需要的跨学科领域. 学科领域包括生物学, 化学与心理学, 哪些是理解神经科学的基础. You’ll gain a solid understanding of basic neuroanatomy and nervous system function on a molecular, 细胞和系统级, and be able to describe the major areas of neuroscience with a clear understanding of the main research approaches. You’ll study the scientific process of hypothesis generation and testing as it relates to the field of neuroscience and be able to evaluate empirical research findings in terms of their theoretical basis, 设计和方法.

神经科学项目是博彩平台推荐和RIZE教育的合作项目. 你将有在小型学校接受教育的优势, 私立大学致力于高师生接触, 同时也向该领域的国家专家学习, such as Dr. David Ross, Associate Professor of Psychology, Yale University; Dr. Adriane dela Cruz, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, University of Texas Southwestern; Dr. Ashley Walker, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and the Residency Training Director at the University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Our undergraduate neuroscience program will provide you with a broad range of career options upon graduation. 你将有资格从事薪水远高于全国平均水平的工作. The program is also an ideal course of study for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in neuroscience itself, 以及那些希望进入医学院的人——尤其是那些着眼于神经学的人, 神经外科医生和精神科护理.

The B.S. 神经科学课程提供了神经科学基础的全面教育, preparing you for an exciting and growing field that is having a tremendous impact in the world of research, 生物技术与医学.

大脑是复杂的，为研究提供了巨大的机会. 有很多机会可以解开大脑的活动, 这可能有助于回答围绕它如何工作的几乎无穷无尽的谜团. At the biological level, there are questions to answer involving how clusters of brain cells firing across neural networks regulate the body’s systems and also produce complex behavior. 在心理层面上, scientists can study how the biological and chemical systems of the brain impact human behavior in a social structure. 有很多研究方案可以让人们过上更好的生活.

自2010年以来，神经科学已经发展到影响新兴技术. Neuroscientists, 研究大脑活动的人, 是否影响了基于大脑行为的技术结构. For example, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on neuroscience research are allowing paralyzed patients to perform tasks such as turning thoughts into email or moving a hand to hold a loved one.

Neuroscience represents a potential for curing diseases and supporting a higher quality of life, 适用于患有精神和中枢神经系统疾病的人. For example, 电子药物现在被用来调节神经信号, neuroregeneration is used in research to prevent diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, 基因组测序用于为神经系统疾病提供个性化解决方案, 基因组编辑被用于预防认知相关疾病.

动手学习是神经科学课程的一个组成部分. You’ll participate in a 150-hour internship working with medical providers or neuroscience researchers. 你将参与一个选定的科学研究项目, working under a professor who will help guide your research effort to solve a problem in neuroscience. And, you’ll learn academic scientific processes, which can be applied to neuroscience research.

Labs and a hands-on curriculum involve actual application of scientific processes, as you will:

• 使用科学软件并解读实验室程序数据.
• 积极练习通过实验报告交流科学信息.
• 分享通过点对点讨论学到的知识, 与该领域的人进行演讲和互动.
• 目前该领域的研究从科学期刊向同学学习.
• Have the opportunity to complete individually chosen research projects guided by professors to present to national conferences.

科学技术中心

Tiffin University’s newest building on campus is our Center for Science and Technology – also referred to as “the STEAM building.” Here, 你将参与实验练习, using high-level instrumentation that is not used in other programs until graduate level coursework. 仪器包括GC-MS(气相色谱质谱), HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infared Spectroscopy), “Bod Pod” (to analyze the impact of physical activity on the human body) and DNA Sequential Analyzer. You’ll also learn anatomy and physiology to the molecular and cellular level using the Anatomage Table, a six-foot horizontal computer and virtual autopsy machine using digitized human bodies dedicated to science. TU是全国少数几所拥有这种机器的学校之一.
