Program Description: The Neuroscience Ph.D. program offered by the Oklahoma Center for Neuroscience at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center is the only multi-disciplinary and inter-institutional program in the state of Oklahoma devoted to the study of diseases of the nervous system. The strengths of the neuroscience program can be roughly divided into three areas: Molecular Neuroscience, Systems Neurobiology, and Functional Neuroscience. Molecular neuroscience involves biochemical investigations at the cellular and molecular levels and may include studies on neurotransmitter systems, pharmacology of neurotransmission, interactions of drugs with receptors, molecular biology of neurological diseases, mechanisms of signal transduction, etc. Systems neurobiology addresses studies of multineuronal networks that range from small ensembles to neural circuitry underlying pain mechanisms, control of cardiac and respiratory function, muscle physiology, mechanisms of endocrine functions, etc. Functional neuroscience involves the disciplines of neurology, biological psychiatry, and behavioral neuroscience.
