INTRODUCTION
Doctoral study in neuroscience can be
difficult and time-consuming, but also very rewarding. No other
discipline probes the intricate machinery of the nervous system to
address such fundamental issues as how we think, move, perceive, learn
and remember. Following traditions established in the early 1950's, when
modern efforts to understand the nervous system led to early
breakthroughs in the treatment of many neurological and psychiatric
disorders, neuroscience research continues to have an enormous clinical
impact. Several neuroscientists have now been recipients of the Nobel
Prize. Researchers in neuroscience are employed in many different
settings, ranging from universities and medical centers to government
agencies and private industry.
The time for thinking seriously about
graduate study in neuroscience should begin early in your undergraduate
education. Not only will you need to plan your courses wisely, but you
also should begin to learn first hand what laboratory research is all
about.
This student guide contains information
that will help you find and be accepted into the program that is right
