The study of neuroscience stands as one of the most dynamic and challenging fields in contemporary scientific exploration. By delineating the intricacies of the human brain and describing its interactions with the body and the world around it, neuroscience has the potential to unlock new frontiers of knowledge and inspire groundbreaking advances in medicine, technology, and beyond. The establishment of a Center for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience (CIN) at UC Merced will help faculty expand their own research, and train students by exposing them to different subdomains of this diverse field. Topics of interest will be broadly construed and grounded in different theories and techniques. Such exposure is critical for faculty to develop innovative programs of research and for students to be prepared to pursue a wide range of careers in the biomedical sciences and biotechnology.
