生物科学-神经科学和生理学
概述
学生, 博士后研究员, and faculty comprising the Neuroscience and Physiology (NP) group emphasize an integrative approach to the study of these two important and related sub-disciplines.
Neuroscience identifies the neural substrates of behavior, whereas Physiology investigates organismal functions. 研究 within Neuroscience and Physiology spans broad organization levels within Biology, 从基因、分子、细胞到组织, 电路和行为动物. 我们采用了多种实验方法, 包括基因, 分子, 细胞, and whole-animal techniques such as microelectrode recordings, 显微镜, 光学成像, 脑电图描记器, 数学建模, 行为观察. Current research asks fundamental questions in 分子 neuroethology, 细胞, 系统, 人类神经科学, 以及细胞和运输生理学.
We offer a comprehensive curriculum to graduate students interested in Neuroscience and Physiology. Sequences provide an exciting and challenging academic environment, by combining research excellence with a strong commitment to education, 并与实验室研究紧密结合.
The Neuroscience and Physiology sequence is an option for students enrolled in the M.S. 学位课程.
