Because our neuroscience faculty members are affiliated with a number of different departments, a variety of research facilities are available. Students interested in the molecular basis of neural function may take advantage of up-to-date equipment for cloning and sequencing DNA, purifying large samples of protein, and analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary protein structures. Students whose primary interests lie at the cellular and systems level have access to a wide range of neurophysiological instrumentation, including patch clamp and single-unit recording techniques, computer modeling facilities, neuronal imaging set-ups, anatomical tracing reagents and computer-controlled stimulation systems. Those interested in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience work at labs with electrical, optical, and fMRI technology readily available. Doctoral candidates interested in clinical issues will find a full range of patient populations and modern medical instrumentation at our on-campus teaching hospitals and veterinary medicine clinics.
