The Ph.D. in the Program in Neuroscience is designed to give students the opportunity to develop the technical skills and conceptual framework necessary for a successful research career in neuroscience. Research should be viewed as the student's greatest challenge and the major focus of their energy. From the cellular and molecular bases of nervous-system functioning to a systems-level approach to the study of relationships between brain and behavior, the program provides a deep understanding of the field and its subdisciplines.
