All terms: Arrange This course is designed to enable especially qualified Neuroscience majors, usually seniors, to engage in independent laboratory research under the direction of a neuroscience faculty member.

A student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.30 in the major and 3.00 overall to enroll and must enroll by the fall term of the senior year.

Thesis committee members must be identified prior to the student signing up for Psychology 91. The thesis committee must include a regular faculty member of the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. The other individual must have an active academic appointment at Dartmouth. A prospectus of proposed research is due by the end of the fall term for approval by the Neuroscience Steering Committee. The student is expected to submit a written thesis, give a public presentation and pass an oral examination administered by the thesis committee. The thesis committee will make recommendations to the Neuroscience Steering Committee regarding the awarding of Honors or High Honors. Students electing to do a Neuroscience Honor's thesis should consult the PBS Department website for further details. Prerequisite: Psychology 6 or Biology 34 and Psychology 10 or Biology 29. A 60 level course is strongly recommended. Students should check well in advance with their faculty advisor for additional prerequisites.
