The
Molecular/Cellular Track,
process of
qualifying as a doctoral candidate,
and training faculty provide doctoral training emphasizing
neurogenetics
and genetic dissection of neural development, molecular aspects
of synapse formation and plasticity, structure and regulation
of
ion channels and transporters, targeting and signal transduction,
psychotropic drug action, the molecular basis of neuropsychiatric
and neurodegenerative disorders, and targeted gene disruption
in transgenic animals to ascertain the function of neural
genes and
establish disease models.

The Integrative/Cognitive
Track curriculum,
process of qualifying as a doctoral
candidate,
and training faculty provide doctoral training emphasizing cognitive
neuroscience, sensory-motor systems, neuroimaging, neural development,
synaptic plasticity, neurobiological basis of neuropsychiatric
and neurodegenerative disorders,and targeted gene disruption in
transgenic
animals to ascertain the function of neural genes and establish
disease models. |

Additional Vanderbilt Brain Institute Neuroscience Graduate Program
activities are designed to facilitate the development of knowledge
and skills critical to
a research career, including teaching,
comprehensive knowledge of research literature, grants
writing, developing excellent communications
skills, and acquiring a scholarly neuroscience background through
attendance in seminars, journal clubs,
and similar events. The Neuroscience
Student Organization unites trainees from across campus,
providing opportunities to present research, share critical information,
and develop a network of friends and future colleagues. |
