Suffrage Science Award given to neuroscientist Azahara Oliva
The award aims to “create a self-perpetuating cohort of talent that can encourage others to enter science and reach senior leadership roles.”
Read moreThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior (NB&B) was one of the very first departments to combine the study of animal behavior with its neural basis, based on the belief that the interface between them was one of great research potential. The interests of our faculty and students span all levels of organization, from single neurons to complex circuits to whole organisms and societies thereof.
