Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience

New Jersey Institute of Technology

From the NJIT Department of Biology, the Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience is an exciting program with new courses launched in the Fall of 2018. The program bridges many levels of nervous system organization and function, from single nerve cells to behavior and cognition. Students will be introduced to the cell and molecular biology, biophysics, and electrophysiology of nerve cells and synapses. They will learn how these properties give rise to neural circuit and systems function, and how computational and signal processing approaches are used to understand neural coding and information processing in the brain. The fundamental biological and computational principles that govern brain function can then be applied to understand diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and instrumentation, including functional electrical stimulation, optical and functional imaging techniques, and neural prosthetics.
