Perception

Thank you both for your replies! I believe that a neuro- or biopsych- approach would be most beneficial for me personally as far as subject material goes but I do understand the importance of faculty and who I am working with. I am new to how graduate school runs so I am happy to learn, and I will be sure to research professors who work in, or teach, fields that pertain to my interests.

I am currently a Psychology undergrad and my career goal is to ideally work with the brain regarding mental disorders involving what exactly causes certain disorders, methods of treating and curing mental disorders, that sort of stuff. I plan to graduate with my B.S. next summer, at the latest, so I am now attempting to research graduate schools to find a good fit. While it seems that my interests are tailored more towards the neuro- field, should I be applying for Neuroscience/Neuropsychology programs strictly instead of a Psychology program, or would it not hinder me too directly? Any advice regarding programs/schools to apply for, and the entire graduate school system at large, is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
