神经科学研究生课程的目标是组建世界一流的科学家，这些科学家具有广泛的概念知识，以了解该领域的重要问题，以及解决这些问题的专业知识和动手经验。该计划向学生介绍旨在了解大脑结构和功能如何产生行为和认知的当前研究策略。神经科学课程的教师广泛地关注感知，行动和认知的神经基础，以及基础大脑系统的可塑性和进化。教师使用神经生理学，神经解剖学，神经化学，功能成像，心理物理和计算方法。特别的专业领域包括神经可塑性，感觉系统的组织，特别着重于视觉和视觉处理，物体识别，注意力和决策。
The goal of the graduate program in neuroscience is to form world-class scientists who have the broad conceptual knowledge to understand the important issues of the field, and the know-how and hands-on experience to resolve these issues. The program introduces students to current research strategies aimed at understanding how brain structure and function produces behavior and cognition.<br>Faculty in the neuroscience program are broadly concerned with the neural bases of perception, action, and cognition, as well as with the plasticity and evolution of the underlying brain systems. Faculty use neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical, functional imaging, psychophysical, and computational methods. Particular areas of expertise include neural plasticity, sensory system organization with a special emphasis on vision and visual processing, object recognition, attention, and decision making.
