The interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Neuroscience was established at the University in 1992. The faculty for the Neuroscience Program consists of more than 50 neuroscientists drawn from the School of Medicine, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The research interests of these faculty include: the cellular mechanisms underlying neurological diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and AIDS-related-dementias; the ways in which addiction to nicotine, alcohol and illegal drugs are acquired and can be controlled; strategies to limit and even repair damage to the brain and spinal cord caused by traumatic injury, ischemia, or stroke; the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the expression and function of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors; sensory transduction in the visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory systems; the mechanisms of learning and memory; the development of the nervous system, with emphasis on axon growth and synapse formation, and basic cell biology as applied to the nervous system, including signal transduction, tumorigenesis, and cell-cell communication. This diversity of research interests is reflected in the training opportunities open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
