The Neuroscience Program in the College of Liberal Arts at Temple University, directed by Professor Diana S. Woodruff-Pak has as its primary goal to foster interdisciplinary academic programs on the brain and nervous system. The affiliated Center for Neuroscience has a mission to facilitate and expand neuroscience research at Temple. The scope of the Neuroscience Program and the Center for Neuroscience includes the entire multidisciplinary domain of neuroscience -- from brain and nervous system structure, function, evolutionary history, development, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology to brain and nervous system relationships to cognition, emotion and other behaviors and to the cultural, social, and environmental forces that shape brain function. Faculty and students from all of Temple University’s schools and colleges are invited to participate in the academic and research sites of neuroscience. Those Colleges and Schools that have joined CLA in proposing this new organization for neuroscience include the College of Engineering, College of Health Professions, College of Science and Technology, and the School of Medicine.
