The CMBN is one of the leading places in this country for the study of the neural bases of behavior and cognition in humans and other animals. Clinically relevant research areas are the study of the physiological and pharmacological aspects of schizophrenia, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease and molecular genetics of reading disorders and well as neuroendocrinology. We have a computational program for students interested in pursuing neural-network models as a tool for understanding psychological and biological issues. The IAB offers a unified program in psychobiology and ethological patterns of behavior, with an emphasis on evolution, development and reproduction, as well as the neurogenesis and recovery of function from brain damage. Several other fellowships are offered.
More information is available in our graduate brochure.
