MRes Neuropharmacology
Course overview
This Master of Research (MRes) in Neuropharmacology is designed to combine a study of molecular and cellular neuroscience with an extended, intensive research project. The course explores current research in areas like Cognitive Neuroscience and Neurophysiology, covering brain structure, memory, and the functional basis of neurological and psychiatric illnesses.
