JUSTIFICATION AND RELEVANCE OF THE PROGRAM
The Master's program in Behavioral Science, Neuroscience orientation, was created in 1995, from the founding of the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Guadalajara, where it is based.
The program is primarily research-oriented as its core and priority activity in training researchers in the area of brain-behavior-cognition relationships. Since its inception, the program has contributed to the development of a critical mass of outstanding scientific and academic personnel. The Graduate Program in Behavioral Science remained continuously on the Registry of Excellence from its creation until 2006, and subsequently joined the National Registry of Quality Graduate Programs in 2011 with a High-Level classification as a Consolidated Program.
GOALS
To contribute to the training of high-level human resources and to the development of lines of research and application of knowledge in the field of study of the brain-behavior-cognition relationship.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
LINES OF KNOWLEDGE GENERATION AND/OR APPLICATION
The research line that identifies the postgraduate research work is called Brain, Behavior and Cognition since all areas and specific projects involve the study of the relationship between the brain and behavior, whether with humans or with other species.
With that objective, the organization of the laboratories and the thirteen areas of study in which students can join are as follows:
