 The brain is complex, and we in the Neuroscience concentration study every aspect of it. Students choose from a variety of [courses](https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/undergraduate/neuroscience/neuro-courses/?course-button=electives) and research labs (*e.g.*,: [MCB](https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/?areas_of_research=neuroscience), [Psych](https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/research-areas/cognition-brain-behavior), [HMS](http://www.hms.harvard.edu/dms/neuroscience/fac/ResearchArea.php)) that investigate the biological mechanisms of brain function (and dysfunction).

 If you're curious about studying Neuroscience, here are some suggestions:

1. Contact [Dr. Draft](https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/directory/ryan-draft/?referral=neurobio-contact), [Dr. Magnotti](https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/directory/laura-magnotti/?referral=neurobio-contact), or [Dr. Penikis](https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/directory/kristina-penikis/?referral=neurobio-contact) to talk more about your interest. We are always happy to meet First-Years!
