Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary branch of science that focuses on the structure, function and development of the nervous systems. Traditionally included as a branch of biological sciences, neuroscience has become an independent and interdisciplinary field in which medicine, psychology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer engineering and several other scientific disciplines work together.

We offer top-tier quality education and research opportunities,with the academic vision that balances education with research in the thematic structure of our university and with our academic staff that present a model for this multidisciplinary structuring.
