神经科学博士学位课程是一个跨学科的研究生课程，由杜兰大学四个学院的13个系的研究生和教职人员组成，包括科学与工程学院，医学学院，公共卫生与热带医学学院和人文科学学院。神经科学系的研究计划得到了联邦和州资助机构在应激障碍，感觉运动障碍，疼痛机制，皮质结构和功能，信号转导机制，神经肽，学习和记忆以及发育神经生物学领域的资助。研究生们在一个小型且生产性强的研究环境中进行前沿研究，从而促进了亲密的指导和培训，并最终在高端科学期刊上发表。<br> <br>神经科学计划的主要目标是为研究生提供广泛的教育在神经科学研究
The Neuroscience PhD Program is an interdisciplinary graduate program comprised of graduate students and faculty from 13 departments across four schools at Tulane University, including the Schools of Science and Engineering, Medicine, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and Liberal Arts. The Neuroscience faculty research programs are well funded by grants from federal and state funding agencies in the areas of stress disorders, sensory-motor disorders, pain mechanisms, cortical structure and function, signal transduction mechanisms, neuropeptides, learning and memory, and developmental neurobiology. Graduate students perform cutting edge research in a small and productive research environment that fosters intimate instruction and training leading to publication in upper-tier scientific journals.<br><br>The major goal of the Neuroscience Program is to provide graduate students with broad education in both the theoretical and practical aspects of research in neuroscience. Our students receive a diversified training in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, molecular and cellular neurobiology, and research methods in neuroscience. In addition, the students have the opportunity to obtain experience in teaching and in presenting research results. Our goal is to produce Ph.D.s who will engage in neuroscience research as postdoctoral fellows, and eventually as researchers in academia or industry.
