Neuroscience Network for Graduate Studies at the University of Louisville
According to the Oxford American Dictionary a network is “a
group of people who exchange information, contacts and experience for
professional or social purposes”. The Neuroscience Network for Graduate Studies
at the University of Louisville is a multidisciplinary group of over 80
participating faculty in 15 different departments with the common goal of
providing high quality education and research experience to graduate students interested
in neuroscience. Research Interests span a broad spectrum of neuroscience, from
genetic & molecular 
mechanisms to cognition & behavior and the
translation of basic research to clinical therapies. The Neuroscience Network
seeks to enhance graduate education in neuroscience by promoting interaction
between departments and across disciplines. Students of participating Faculty
Members will find a friendly, collegial atmosphere that is conducive to
success. A list of suggested elective courses and advisors are available to
assist students in developing a range of skills and research approaches at
multiple levels of analysis.
Incoming students will be exposed to a wide range of research areas through laboratory rotations and core research facilities are available to support training in a variety of research techniques. Training will include Department and Center-based Journal Clubs, a variety of Seminar Series on both the Belknap and HSC Campuses including Clinically-based Grand Rounds, and the Annual Neuroscience Day, hosted by the Louisville Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. Students interested in a career in neuroscience are encouraged to contact any of the participating faculty/advisors and subsequently to apply to the appropriate participating department.
