How do we learn and remember? What neural networks of the brain are active during seeing or hearing? How is thought translated into movement? And what has happened in the brain when things go wrong, and we can no longer remember, think clearly, see or grasp objects? These are some of the central questions of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. It is the study of how the brain enables the acquisition, storage, and utilization of knowledge. The University of Minnesota has an extraordinary academic environment in Cognitive Neuroscience with faculty research and collaborations. Students participate and benefit from major research groups including the Brain Sciences Center, the Cognitive Sciences Center, and the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research.
