The goal of the Behavioral Neuroscience Program is to provide the student with knowledge of the biological factors that affect behavior. Through a close and personalized student-mentor relationship, we try to instill in the student an appreciation for programmatic problem-oriented, rather than technique-oriented, research. We seek to produce sophisticated, versatile teacher/scientists. The Behavioral Neuroscience Program provides training toward the PhD for approximately 20 students at a time. Seven faculty and five affiliated faculty represent a wide range of interests in Behavioral Neuroscience, making our program a particularly rich and diverse intellectual environment.
