The Neurosciences at Rice program incorporates a curriculum, a research center,and a collaboration with our colleagues in the Texas Medical Center, especially Baylor College of Medicine. It involves faculty and students from Rice in the Departments of Psychology, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Biochemistry & Cell Biology, Linguistics, Computer Science, and others.

Curriculum
Back in Fall 1999, Baylor College of Medicine made several changes to its graduate curriculum in the Division of Neuroscience in an effort to open their classes to Rice students.These changes include teaching some of the courses on the Rice campus and teaching some of them according to the Rice University Calendar. The Baylor courses are available to qualified Rice undergraduates.

Research Center
Baylor has established an impressive facility for conducting experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This facility, the Human Neuroimaging Lab (HNL), is now being used on a regular basis by Rice faculty and graduate students.
