Brown University Neuroscience Programs

Founded in 1986, the Neuroscience Graduate Program at Brown University offers advanced study culminating in the PhD.  At all stages of instruction, the program integrates skills that are considered essential for successful, independent research careers such as critical thinking and reasoning, effective science writing and oral presentation, knowledge of the scientific review process, and ethics training.

The Neuroscience Graduate Program promotes interdisciplinary research that crosses traditional disciplinary and departmental boundaries while providing a strong foundation in the core concepts of neuroscience. Research in the program employs an impressive array of techniques and encompasses multiple levels of investigation from genes, molecules, and cells to neural networks, systems, and behaviour.
