• The Neuroscience Program is interdepartmental, and includes both basic scientists and clinical researchers, so students have an unusually broad range of research opportunities. This year, the program has 46 graduate students and over 83 faculty. A major strength of our program is its breadth, because it includes faculty from both basic science and from clinical departments. This breadth is organized and made coherent by the Center for Neuroscience which serves as the focal point for neuroscience research on the Davis campus, and is an important resource for our students and faculty.
  • Through the Center, we participate in an intense seminar series that provides frequent exposure to scientists in all areas of neuroscience. We place special emphasis on opportunities for our students to interact with visiting speakers. Students also have access to cutting-edge equipment such as a multi-photon imaging system, several confocal microscopes, a gene chip array system, shared molecular equipment, a mass spectrometer, electron microscopes, and fMRI and PET scanners.
