Over the past
thirty years, the number of neuroscience training programs has
not only grown, but they have matured and become more
sophisticated, complex and better organized.
"Neuroscience" has become a formal part of the
lexicon of academia and competes--quite successfully so--with
the many traditional disciplines of biology and biomedicine,
such as anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry,
pharmacology, psychology and behavior, from which this
exciting new discipline draws its remarkably diverse heritage.
At the same time, the clientele most interested in
investigating neuroscience training options was growing to
include not only other neuroscientists but undergraduate and
even high school students.
The Association of
Neuroscience Departments and Programs (ANDP) is an
organization of more than 200 member departments and programs
from academic institutions in North America. Since 1981,
this group has assessed the nature of neuroscience training
and fostered information exchange and enhancement of education
in this discipline. The ANDP is ideally suited for the
challenge of generating a registry of neuroscience training
programs in North America. The listing is as accurate,
up-to-date and inclusive as possible; and contains appropriate
and adequate information that would be useful both to future
trainees searching for a school to attend, and professionals
in the field who wish to compare the meaningful qualities and
features of other programs and departments.
