The program will also include informative poster presentations and refreshments.
Learn more about our unique and collaborative Institute that combines award-winning researchers, cutting-edge facilities, and interdisciplinary degree programs to become one of the country's leaders in Neuroscience.
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary major leading to a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience offering comprehensive training in brain sciences, with Psychology courses that offer a cognitive/systems perspective and Biology courses ranging from animal behavior to neurons and molecular mechanisms.
The Neuroscience graduate program includes more than 60 faculty members from 10 University departments. Learn more about admission requirements, deadlines, program timelines, funding information and resources for student support.
Our neuroscience research faculty have expertise in have expertise in molecular/cellular, cognitive and computational neuroscience and are supported with state-of-the-art facilities.
Faculty are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive research and learning environment and work closely with doctoral students in our Integrative Neuroscience Graduate Program and undergraduates earning their B.S in neuroscience.
Durbin, a graduate student in the Integrative Neuroscience Program working with Dr. Robert Renden is the first author of a paper, , which was published in the Journal of Neuroscience Aug. 9, 2023. The cover of the paper shows the deconvolved z-projection of confocal images (pictured above), which show the organization of plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) localized near neuromuscular junctions at the mouse levator auris longus (LAL). Using immunohistochemistry, the researchers targeted vesicular acetylcholine transporter to mark the presynaptic motor nerve, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to mark the postsynaptic endplate and PMCA.
