Best Colleges in Neuroscience / Neurobiology Program

This page introduces the top colleges in Neuroscience / Neurobiology program. Stanford University is ranked first in Neuroscience / Neurobiology program ranking and University of California-San Diego is placed in second. Next describes the Neuroscience / Neurobiology program in general.

Neuroscience or Neurobiology is the scientific study of the nervous system. Traditionally, neuroscience has been seen as a branch of biology. However, it is currently an interdisciplinary science that collaborates with other fields such as chemistry, computer science, engineering, linguistics, mathematics, medicine and allied disciplines, philosophy, physics, and psychology. It also exerts influence on other fields, such as neuroeducation and neurolaw. The term neurobiology is usually used interchangeably with the term neuroscience, although the former refers specifically to the biology of the nervous system, whereas the latter refers to the entire science of the nervous system.(read more at wiki)
