Objectives

The Neuroscience Graduate Program focuses on cellular and molecular as well as systems neurobiology. Topics of particular interest include synaptic physiology and synaptic plasticity; membrane biophysics, especially receptors and ion channels; neuronal organelle traffic, particularly the biogenesis and exo- and endocytosis of synaptic vesicles; neurogenetics of invertebrates and vertebrates; development of neural systems; and molecular and cellular basis of complex behavior.
