Interdisciplinary Programs
The interdepartmental Neuroscience Program provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary training and research leading to a Ph.D. degree in neuroscience. There are approximately forty participating faculty who share interests in the functioning and malfunctioning of the nervous system. Research areas currently represented include autonomic nervous system function, neural development and plasticity, neural imaging, neural mechanisms of behavior, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disease, neurochemistry and neuropharmacology, neuroendocrinology, sensory and motor systems, and synaptic transmission and signal transduction.
