Neuroscience combines the basic, experimental and formal sciences that study the nervous system for its application to pharmacology, clinical medicine and research. This knowledge allows the development of new strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases originating in the nervous system.
The increase in life expectancy of the population in developed countries challenges us to learn how to age in a healthy and disease-free way. Society needs professionals with a knowledge of the brain and the central nervous system that will enable us to reduce the effects of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The neuroscientist also plays a key role in understanding the interaction between behavioral and emotional mechanisms, memory, decision-making processes, on the one hand, and their physiological, genetic and therapeutic dimensions, on the other. And it participates in the development of artificial intelligence technologies, both in the understanding of the brain to improve the algorithms that implement it, and in the improvement of brain-machine interaction.
Neuroscience has a markedly multidisciplinary approach. Sciences such as physics, chemistry, psychology, mathematics, and of course medicine, are interrelated to generate theoretical knowledge, but also applied, albeit in activities different from direct clinical medical practice.
This degree is taught entirely in English, facilitating the international mobility of students, both European and non-European (United States, Canada, etc.) in which Universidad Carlos III de Madrid is a leader, and allowing the recruitment of internationally talented professors.
