Research interests of faculty in the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy lie within four major subdivisions - molecular, cellular, computational, and structural. Areas of emphasis outside the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy include visual science, neuroendocrinology, neural trauma, stroke, and epilepsy. Research Facilities Departmental resources comprise the principal training and research facilities for the neuroscience graduate training program. Each research interest group maintains common equipment and laboratories, in addition to the facilities of individual investigators.
Core facilities are available which house major time-shared equipment.
The graduate program in neuroscience leads to a Ph.D. degree in biomedical sciences and, by special arrangement, may be combined with an M.D. degree program. All are faculty members of the Graduate School. These faculty members represent the major areas of neuroscience research and training at the University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center. Emphasis is placed on the Doctor of Philosophy degree, although a Master of Science degree may be obtained. Tutorials and individual research projects are an integral part of this area of study.
