Neuroscience and behavior

Graduate program in neuroscience and behavior offers a balance between basic research and practical laboratory training in contemporary behavioral and systems neuroscience. The primary aim of the program is to help students gain an understanding of brain-behavior relationships with particular interest in identifying the biological mechanisms important for human and animal behavior. At ucsb, the faculty interests can be categorized into three broad subareas of research: visual neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, and psychopharmacology.

Within these three subareas of specialization, the varying backgrounds and expertise of the faculty provide the student with an opportunity to explore such diverse research topics as: the biology of color vision; the development and plasticity of neural circuitry, cytoarchitecture, and neurotransmitter systems; the control of adult neurogenesis; the neuroendocrinological and biopsychological analysis of motivated behavior; the neurobiology and neurochemistry of drug reward and dependence; and animal models of the neurobiological bases of neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and tory research is complemented by a wide range of graduate level courses offered by faculty in the department of psychological & brain sciences as well as in pharmacology, neurobiology, and biochemistry. The program is enriched throughout the academic year by an active "neuroscience and behavior" colloquium series in which prominent scholars from both within and outside the university are invited to visit the campus and share their research findings. Faculty and students also benefit from the interdisciplinary interactions stemming from their involvement in the ucsb neuroscience research institute, where optical imaging and genomics/proteomics facilities are also addition to an extensive range of different faculty research laboratories, the department of psychological & brain sciences provides technical support staff and facilities that greatly enhance the quality of the work environment and increase the research possibilities open to graduate students.

Relatively small sized program with excellent research facilities, the neuroscience and behavior program provides a student with a personal approach to a high quality graduate major provides a strong background in the biological underpinnings of behavior and cognition. It is intended for students who plan to pursue a career in neuroscience or a related discipline. Students electing this major are exposed to basic courses in biology and psychology and to advanced courses in neuroscience and behavior.

The behavior concentration places greater emphasis on behavioral and systems neuroscience, while the cellular concentration places greater emphasis on cellular and molecular majors engage in two semesters of research while taking the senior research seminar. There is a meeting for junior majors to begin this elect the major in neuroscience and behavior, a student must have earned an average grade of b- or better in biology bc 1500, 1501, 1502 & 1503; an average grade of b- or better in chemistry bc 2001, 3328 & 3230; and a grade of b- or better in psychology bc are no minors in neuroscience and d noyce teacher scholars cience & m administrator: danielle publications by nab publications by nab > undergraduate > majors > neuroscience and cience and cience is a relatively young, exciting, and fundamentally interdisciplinary field devoted to the study of the nervous systems.
