The UNP provides a focus for undergraduate activity in the many facets of neuroscience. This interdisciplinary, university-wide program was established in 1985 in response to the growing interest in neuroscience among undergraduates and the consequent need to coordinate coursework and research opportunities spanning different academic departments.

The UNP features courses and research at every level of brain organization, from the molecular (e.g. membrane physiology, neurochemistry), through the systemic (e.g., integrative neurophysiology, comparative neuroanatomy) to the organismic (e.g. perception, memory, learning, animal behavior, human mental disorders).
