Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the study of the development and function of the central nervous system and its connection to influencing/regulating behavior. The study of neuroscience examines neuroanatomy, physiology of nervous system, biochemistry, genetics, neuropharmacology, neuroimaging, systems and behavioral neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, social neuroscience, cognition, bioengineering, computational neuroscience, and neural dysfunction and disease. Graduate programs within the Neuroscience Center offer research training and classroom instruction in a wide range of areas pertaining to neuroscience. Areas of research include neuroendocrinology, reproduction, central nervous system development, exercise physiology, glucose metabolism, membrane transport, channel structure, synaptic vesicle recycling, blood pressure control, tissue engineering, memory, stress and coping, aging, neuroimaging, neuropsychology, development, emotions, psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia, amnesia, language, vision, sleep, sensory development, brain behavior relationships, cognition, attachment, robotic rehabilitation, movement, electroencephalography, psychophysiology, traumatic brain injury and psychiatric disorders. Course work and research that emphasize the integration of molecular biology, developmental biology, biophysics, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology, cognition, and behavioral neuroscience is offered through this PhD degree program. Students are required to develop a strong background in the principles of neuroscience and develop the intellectual background and technical expertise necessary for successful research projects in their area of specialization. Publication of the research in peer-reviewed journals is expected but not required.
