生物学理学硕士-神经生物学

生物学系硕士课程的目标是在现代生物学的三个广泛子领域之一中对学生进行高级培训：细胞和分子生物学，神经生物学，生态学，行为，进化和海洋生物学。通往MS的三个路径是：课程工作路径，学术论文路径和研究论文路径。在课程的第一学期，将为学生分配其感兴趣的子领域的教职顾问。波士顿大学神经生物学研究生课程的学生与教师一起研究广泛的主题，从突触功能到神经行为学，神经内分泌学和感觉处理。除了论文/论文研究，课程工作和每周的研究生研讨会系列，学生还听取了来自多个外部研讨会系列的来访者的讲话。这些外部研讨会包括来自“神经科学计
The Neurobiology and Behavior group includes faculty interested in organismal form and function. Research interests span a wide range of problems, but emphasize the mechanistic analysis of behavior. A particular strength of the group is common faculty interest in neuroethology, the neural basis of naturally occurring animal behavior. The faculty specialize in the chemoreception, acoustic and chemical communication, locomotion, social insects, and biological clocks. Focus group faculty provide expertise in techniques such as electrophysiology, acoustic and ultrasonic recording, kinematics of movement, electromyography, neuroanatomy, confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, and calcium imaging.<br>Faculty offer several graduate seminar courses, subjects are chosen according to current faculty and student interests. Recent seminars have included Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, Neural Circuits and Behavior, and Conservation Physiology.<br>Graduate and undergraduate students interested in studying these topics are encouraged to contact the faculty members below to inquire about research mentorship opportunities. See the Graduate Program and Undergraduate Research pages for more information.
