Course: NRSC 7650 - Research in Neuroscience
Course Director: selected Faculty
Course Description: Research rotations allow students to become familiar with potential thesis labs and projects. Students perform independent research projects of limited scope during both semesters. Seminars describing the work are presented mid-fall semester, one at the end of the fall semester and one during the last week of the spring semester. Three
rotations of NRSC 7650 must be completed before the beginning of the Fall semester of the second year.
Course Director: William Sather, Ph.D., Department of Pharmacology
Course Description: Covers how nerve cells go about their business of transmitting signals. Required textbook: From Neuron to Brain, 4th Edition. A Cellular and Molecular Approach to the Function of the Nervous System. Course will run the first half of the fall semester. This course is required for all neuroscience Ph.D. candidates.
Course Director: training faculty and general members
Course Description: This core course provides a unified knowledge of the fundamental principles of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and molecular biology. It is designed for all first year basic sciences graduate students.
