Members of the Neuroscience community at Brandeis work
in three broad areas:
1) cellular, molecular, and developmental neuroscience;
2) computational and systems neuroscience; and
3) behavioral and cognitive neuroscience.
The faculty
webpage for Neuroscience will provide more detailed information
regarding the research interests and work of the Neuroscience
faculty.
Areas of particular strength include computational neuroscience,
neurogenetics, neuromodulation of ion channels and neural
circuits, synaptic physiology, dynamics of cortical networks,
and interdisciplinary studies of plasticity and memory.
Neuroscience Ph.D. students become expert in their particular
area of research as well as obtaining a broad view of the
whole field. To promote a breadth of knowledge and understanding,
students do laboratory rotations in a variety of sub-disciplines,
meet weekly with other students and faculty in the Neurobiology
Journal Club, and attend seminars by and meet with eminent
visiting scientists.
