生物医学科学哲学博士-神经科学

神经科学在心理学，解剖学，电生理学，分子生物学，医学，药理学和生物化学等众多学科中使用工具，为数百万受神经系统疾病影响的人们提供了急需的科学突破。在神经科学计划中，研究培训的主要领域包括发育神经生物学，滥用药物的分子作用机制，神经移植，神经递质系统以及学习，记忆和交流的心理生物学。该计划从生物医学的基因，细胞和系统的跨学科课程开始， GW的生物医学科学研究所提供科学交流和科学职业方面的专业发展以及实验室轮岗。在学习的第一年之后，学生将与他们的研究顾问一起完成剩余的学位要求，包括论文。
Neuroscience uses tools in a wide variety of disciplines-psychology, anatomy, electrophysiology, molecular biology, medicine, pharmacology and biochemistry-to provide desperately needed scientific breakthroughs for the millions of people affected by neurologic illnesses.In the PhD in Neuroscience program, the principal areas of research training include developmental neurobiology, molecular mechanisms of action of drugs of abuse, neural transplant, neurotransmitter systems and the psychobiology of learning, memory and communication.The program begins with interdisciplinary coursework in genes, cells and systems in biomedical sciences, professional development in scientific communication and science careers, and laboratory rotations offered through GW's Institute for Biomedical Sciences. After the first year of study, students work with their research advisor to complete remaining degree requirements, including the dissertation.
