These research areas represent different but complementary approaches to contemporary issues in behavioral and molecular neuroscience and can emphasize either human or animal studies. Research training in the BNS program emphasizes integration across levels of analysis and traditional disciplinary boundaries. Basic research areas in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience include the study of the basal forebrain, basal ganglia, hippocampus, visual and auditory systems and monoaminergic and neuroendocrine systems using electrophysiological, neurochemical, neuroanatomical and molecular biological approaches. At present the CMBN supports up to 40 students with 12-month renewable assistantships for a period of five years. Several other fellowships are offered.

We will be happy to send you info on our research and graduate program, as well as set up an a possible visit to the Neuroscience Center here at Rutgers-Newark. The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for faculty and students to interact and advance our understanding of communication and culture. The conference also will provide a forum for students and faculty to discuss theorizing and conducting research on communication and culture. Panel proposals also will be considered if extended abstracts for all papers are included. Participants are invited to raise questions about their work in the discussion sessions.
