The Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy is focused on creating an exceptional research and educational environment to drive discovery and support the training of the next generation of scientists. Research in the department ranges from embryonic patterning, stem cells, and tissue development, through to neural connectivity, plasticity and behavior. Faculty in the department utilize state-of-the-art molecular, genetic, imaging and behavioral approaches to understand normal function as well as the underpinnings of disease. They participate actively in graduate and postdoctoral training, and are also committed to excellence in medical education. The department is an integral part of campus-wide neuroscience and developmental biology communities. The program provides students with a broad background in diverse areas of neuroscience and cell and developmental biology, including the following areas of specialization: Behavioral Neuroscience Cell Signaling Developmental Biology Developmental Neurobiology Embryonic Pattering Epigenetic Programming Molecular Neuroscience Neural Circuitry Neural Disease Neuro anatomy Neuro-genetics Neurophysiology Regeneration and Repair Doctoral students accepted into the Combined Programs take the standard core curriculum of the Molecular Biology Program in Year 1. First year courses for students accepted via direct admission into Neurobiology and Anatomy will be determined by the studentâ€™s supervisory committee on an individual basis, but must include MBIOL 7570 - Case Studies and Research Ethics. All doctoral students must subsequently take at least 12 additional credits; at least 6 credits must be in didactic courses. One didactic course must be either ANAT 7710/NEUSC 6060 â€“ Neuro anatomy, NEUSC 6040 - Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, or ANAT 7750/NEUSC 7750 - Developmental Neurobiology. Students must also fulfill a teaching requirement (1 semester) and take a graduate level course in statistics. In addition, all students must participate in the departmentâ€™s Research in Progress (RIP) seminar series (ANAT 7720) every semester.
