Study Neuroscience, PhD at Arizona State University - Kaplan International in the USA, Arizona State University, Main campus

What will I learn?

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Studies in neuroscience can be multifaceted and combine physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, genetics and mathematical modeling, with the aim of understanding the fundamental and emergent properties of the many different cells in the brain and how they interact and coregulate each other. Students integrate several levels of analysis --- molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral and cognitive --- to investigate basic, translational and clinical questions about the relationship between the brain and behavior. The Doctor of Philosophy program in neuroscience includes aspects of graduate-level training from many different units on campus and from the program's partner institutions distributed across the greater Phoenix area. Partner institutions include Barrow Neurological Institute, Translational Genomics Research Institute, University of Arizona College of Medicine and the Banner Sun Health Research Institute.
