神经科学系提供现代神经科学广泛学科的研究生培训。神经科学研究生课程特别强调介导神经系统功能和发育的细胞和分子机制。通过研究，课程工作和研讨会相结合的方式提供神经生物学培训。有20多个教职员工可以从事论文研究的机会，这些领域包括感觉和运动系统的发展，再生，感觉和认知神经科学，途径发现轴突，突触功能和可塑性，神经营养蛋白基因表达和营养调节，衰老，神经元-神经胶质相互作用，简单的神经回路和神经模型，神经递质和受体表达的调控以及神经遗传学。神经科学系目前正处于扩张期，并正在积极招募新的小学教师。该系的一个特色使其
The Department of Neurosciences offers graduate training in a wide range of disciplines in modern neuroscience. The neurosciences graduate program has a strong emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate the function and development of the nervous system. Training in neurobiology is provided through a combination of research, course work, and seminars.Thesis research opportunities are available with more than 20 faculty members working in areas such as development of sensory and motor systems, regeneration, sensory and cognitive neuroscience, pathway-finding by axons, synaptic function and plasticity, neurotrophin gene expression and trophic regulation, aging, neuron-glial interactions, simple neural circuits and neural modeling, regulation of neurotransmitter and receptor expression, and neurogenetics. The Department of Neurosciences is currently undergoing a period of expansion and is actively recruiting new primary faculty. One feature of the department that makes it a particularly attractive training environment is the highly interactive atmosphere, characterized by extensive collaboration among laboratories and with other departments in the university.
