Program of StudyThe Neuroscience Program offers comprehensive training across the spectrum of neurosciences, ranging from cellular and molecular processes at the foundation of neural function and development, to integrative processing in the central nervous system, and mechanisms and treatment of human neurologic disease. Students in the Neuroscience Program have access to neuroscientists across the entire university, including a large group of clinical and basic science faculty at Harvard Medical School, Harvard-affiliated hospitals and research centers, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. |
The faculty’s diverse research interests include neurophysiology and biophysics, neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, genetic and molecular biological approaches to the nervous system, immunology, psychiatry, diseases of the human nervous system, and related areas.
The Neuroscience Program is housed in the Department of Neurobiology; graduates of the Neuroscience Program obtain their PhDs in neurobiology.
The approximately 15 students entering the program each year take a sequence of courses offered by the Program in Neuroscience faculty as well as appropriate courses in related fields.
Students usually complete rotations in three laboratories during their first year in order to obtain appropriate experience to guide the selection of a thesis advisor.
