Team-taught intensive course. Lectures, readings, and laboratory exercises cover basic mathematical techniques for analysis and modeling of neural systems. Homework sets are based on the MATLAB software package.

Research component of the first-year core curriculum in neural science. Students participate in the research activities in several different laboratories to learn current questions and techniques in neuroscience. Performance is evaluated on the basis of learning the literature and proficiency in laboratory techniques, based on oral and/or written presentations with the laboratory group.

An advanced course that forms that basis for presentation and discussion of cutting edge research problems that are germane to the student’s dissertation topic.

One-hour research colloquium given by members of the Center for Neural Science.

Weekly one-hour research colloquium given by the Center for Neural Science faculty or outside speakers.

Weekly one-hour research colloquium given by the Center for Neural Science faculty or outside speakers.

Seminar on the intersection of the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and economics.

Explores how the nervous system develops in normal animals, and how genetic and epigenetic factors can disrupt these processes. The major goals of the course will be to understand the extent to which current theories can explain the etiology of each disorder, and to learn how basic research can best facilitate advances in our knowledge and, ultimately, lead to treatments or cures
