Neuroscience
(or neurobiology) is the scientific study of the nervous system. It is a
multidisciplinary branch of biology, that deals with the anatomy,
biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology of neurons and neural
circuits. It also draws upon fields including mathematics, pharmacology,
physics, engineering, and psychology.
The
scope of neuroscience has broadened over time to include different
approaches used to study the molecular, cellular, developmental,
structural, functional, evolutionary, computational, psychosocial and
medical aspects of the nervous system. Neuroscience has also given rise
to such other disciplines as neuroeducation, neuroethics, and neurolaw.
The techniques used by neuroscientists have also expanded enormously,
from molecular and cellular studies of individual neurons to imaging of
sensory and motor tasks in the brain. Recent theoretical advances in
neuroscience have also been aided by the study of neural networks.
As
a result of the increasing number of scientists who study the nervous
system, several prominent neuroscience organizations have been formed to
provide a forum to all neuroscientists and educators. For example, the
International Brain Research Organization was founded in 1960, the
International Society for Neurochemistry in 1963, the European Brain and
Behaviour Society in 1968, and the Society for Neuroscience in 1969.

· Question: How to deal with a pending application?
Answer: When
an application is pending a decision it means that your school has
received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions
office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The
main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application
documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission
office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or
perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To
avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify
your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application
documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
· How long does it take to process my application?
Processing
time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree
program application requires more time than a Chinese language
application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the
admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree
programs application differs. For example fall semester application
processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This
also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
