A brain or nervous system illness or injury will affect one in three Canadians in their lifetime. Autism, addiction, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, depression, dementia, Parkinson\u2019s disease, spinal injury, and stroke cost the Canadian economy billions of dollars annually. Understanding the brain and nervous system to address neurological and mental health disorders is one of the most pressing scientific challenges of our time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The interdisciplinary nature of York\u2019s undergraduate program gives students access to renowned researchers working in many different areas of neuroscience. The program\u2019s small size encourages collaboration amongst students, faculty members, and community partners as they investigate the development, structure, and function of the nervous system including the ways it can change \u2013 whether naturally or through human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
