@LivWithoutLimit Important and timely piece, Ms. Wilkins. Thanks for noting the Caltech and other resources. Bi155 (Neuropharmacology) and NB/Bi163 (Biological Basis of Neural Disorders) treat topics you mention. Hoping your piece inspires chemists to contribute in this challenging field.

Neuroscience represents the wave of the future in many states and provinces, including several of Montana's neighbors. What a great investment! Surely Montana State would like to reconsider its decision to close this source of excitement, Federal funding, and medical advances.
