??圣路易斯华盛顿大学在神经科学领域拥有悠久的传统。在这里，Erlanger首​​先测量了神经传导速度及其与轴突直径的关系。1950年代，Levi-Montalcini，Cohen和Hamburger发现了第一个神经营养因子，即神经生长因子。如今，一个庞大的互动式学院将兴趣集中在现代神经科学的几乎每个领域，从离子通道的分子分析到人脑的正电子发射断层扫描。“来自神经科学，麻醉学，生物化学和分子生物物理学，生物学，生物医学工程，细胞生物学和生理学，发育生物学，遗传学，分子微生物学，神经病学，神经外科，眼科
?Washington University in St. Louis has a long tradition of excellence in the neurosciences. Here, Erlanger first measured nerve conduction velocity and its relation to axon diameter. In the 1950s, Levi-Montalcini, Cohen and Hamburger discovered the first neuronal trophic factor, nerve growth factor. Today, a large and interactive faculty focuses interest on almost every area of modern neuroscience ranging from molecular analysis of ion channels to positron emission tomography of the human brain. ?Faculty from the departments of Neuroscience, Anesthesiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Cell Biology and Physiology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Molecular Microbiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Pathology and Immunology, Physics, Psychiatry, Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Radiology serve as advisers for thesis research and serve as teaching faculty in the neurosciences. The remarkable breadth of faculty interests in neuroscience at Washington University guarantees a student's exposure to a wide range of current neurobiological problems and approaches.
