Research

Research training within the Neuroscience Graduate Program provides unparalleled breadth and interaction among disciplines within neuroscience.  Research interests of the faculty range from molecular mechanisms of protein function and signaling, to cell biology of neurons and glia, to properties of synaptic transmissions and plasticity in complex neural networks, to sensory and motor physiology, to human perception and cognition. We encourage our students to gain as much exposure as they can to all of the approaches utilized within the broad neuroscience community.  To that end, students take a core curriculum on all of the major fields within neuroscience and are encouraged to select rotations during the first-year in laboratories using a wide-range of techniques and approaches.
