Individual research supervised by a particular faculty member.

Independent research within the laboratories of graduate training faculty in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology for first-year Ph.D. students.

Study and dissection of the human body, including muscular, skeletal, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. Emphasis on both normal and abnormal structure and function.

Study of the human nervous system at the systems level including the physiology and anatomy of sensory, motor, and integrative functions.

Lecture and laboratory course on human microscopic anatomy. Emphasis is on functional implications of structure of cells and tissues.

Series of tutorials on advanced topics in anatomy.

Covers structures and pathways of the functional systems of the human brain (motor, sensory, visual, auditory, and limbic) and how these are represented in rodents, emphasizing circuitry involved in learning and memory, neurodegenerative disorders, and neurotrauma.

Special topics in microanatomy. Primarily library work, but study of prepared histological slides and photographs included.

Study of the mammalian nervous system at the systems level. Anatomy and physiology of sensory, motor, and integrative functions.

Understanding the mechanisms of brain disorders provides novel insights into the normal function of neurons and circuits. Discusses approaches to studying mechanisms of brain function ranging from imaging, the use of models and others to study epilepsy.

Focuses on critical reading, presentation, and discussion of current literature in neuroscience research.

One-hour seminar presentation by participating faculty or guest lecturer and open to the science community, followed by one-hour student discussion of the lecture topic or related topic. Students are responsible for presentations and readings.

Molecular aspects of the structure and function of neurons and glia including neurotransmission, synaptic modulation, and channels. Neural development at the cellular and molecular level including neurogenesis, pattern formation, trophic factors, axonal growth, and synaptic rearrangement.

Presentations/lectures by invited faculty and student discussion.

Small group meetings for graduate students to practice scientific writing, debate, and presentation skills.
