神经生物学（神经系统研究）是一门高度整合的科学。现代神经生物学家必须精通分子生物学，细胞和发育生物学，系统神经科学，动物行为和数学建模等概念。研究生课程的目的是使每个学生都了解这一学科。为了实现这一目标，我们提供了具有特定领域要求的第一年课程，以及涵盖许多学科的核心课程。学生从许多不同学科进入神经生物学，从粒子物理学到生理学再到心理学。因此，每位博士生都与第一年的指导老师配对，因此课程选择可以最好地补充学生的背景。在以后的几年中，学生的重点是所选专业的原始研究。我们的目标是让学生毕业于特定的研究成果-最终
Neurobiologythe study of the nervous systemis a highly integrative science. The modern neurobiologist must be conversant with concepts from molecular biology, cell and developmental biology, systems neuroscience, animal behavior, and mathematical modeling. The aim of the graduate program is to expose each student to this breadth of the discipline. To accomplish this, we offer a first-year curriculum with requirements in specified areas, along with a core course that spans many subjects. Students enter neurobiology from many different disciplines, ranging from particle physics to physiology to psychology. Accordingly, each Ph.D. student is paired with a first-year adviser so the course selections can best complement the student's background. In later years, the student's focus is on original research in a chosen specialty. Our goal is that students will graduate with specific research accomplishments and the broad understanding required to chart their subsequent forays in brain science.
