We have selected an external and international advisory board that best fits with the scope of the CLB. Because our primary purpose is to advance scholarship on language and brain at Colgate, we have chosen advisors who are leaders in this area and can offer scholarly advice at the highest possible level.
A step-by-step guide for students interested in writing a thesis in pursuit of honors or high honors in psychological and brain sciences or neuroscience.
The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and the Neuroscience Program have prepared these guidelines to help students in deciding whether to pursue honors and high honors. They can also be used to help students stay on track along their honors research journey.
The Psychological and Brain Sciences Department applies scientific approaches to understanding sensation, motivation, perception, cognition, language, development, personality, psychological disorders, and social behavior. As a collective, we deploy techniques that capture processes at the level of the gene, the cell, the brain, the individual organism, and the group.
Neuroscience is an exciting and dynamic field that seeks to understand how the nervous system works to enable behavior. Colgate faculty and students investigate neural function of animals and humans at multiple levels of analysis ranging from molecular and cellular to systems level approaches.
