What is Interdisciplinary Neuroscience?

Interdisciplinary neuroscience explores the relationship between our brains and behavior from multiple perspectives, including psychology, biology, speech and hearing sciences, social science, systems science, direct community engagement and the arts.

Memory, attention, perception, language, feeling, and decision making in social contexts all depend on brain structure and function. People in this field examine how the underlying physiology of the nervous system relates to individuals’ psychological and behavioral processes.

Those with training in interdisciplinary neuroscience can pursue a variety of careers. Many individuals, particularly with graduate training, may conduct research in both laboratory and clinical settings, and work in academic, business, healthcare, art and policy making environments.

How did we get a minor?

STEAM Ahead: A new interdisciplinary neuroscience minor at Portland State!

PSU students have a long-standing passion for brains and have sought many opportunities to enrich their neuroscience education as undergraduates. They’ve studied the intricacies of both brain and behavior in psychology and biology courses, worked in labs at OHSU, participated in the NIH BUILD EXITO and McNair scholars programs, presented research at the Society for Neuroscience, brought learning outside college classrooms via the active PSU Neuroscience Club and let knowledge serve our Northwest community through interdisciplinary neuroscience outreach as volunteers with the non-profit NW Noggin.
