As seniors, neuroscience majors carry out a research project that culminates in a thesis and an oral presentation. Working closely with me, the Senior Project is an original work of scholarship that provides an in-depth examination of a particular empirical or theoretical issue culminating in a Review Paper and a Research Article.
