The Neuroscience PhD program prepares students for independent research and teaching in neuroscience. It seeks to train students who will be expert in one particular approach to neuroscientific research, but who will also have a strong general background in other areas of neuroscience and related disciplines. To achieve this objective, students take interdisciplinary core and advanced courses in neuroscience, as well as related courses sponsored by other graduate programs. In addition, students carry out research under the supervision of faculty members in the program.

The UCSF Neuroscience program faculty, who are among the world leaders in their respective areas of neuroscience, utilize innovative cellular, computational, electrophysiological, genetic, imaging, and molecular strategies to address outstanding problems in neuroscience. These approaches are employed in an integrative manner to engage in research in all areas of neuroscience, including behavior, biophysics, cell biology, development, neural systems, and disorders of the nervous system. The collaborative nature of the UCSF environment offers a unique opportunity in which to take advantage of the interdisciplinary nature of research at the frontier of modern neuroscience.

Session on: Alzheimer'sdisease, dementia and mild cognitive impairment

Alzheimer'sis a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enoughto interfere with daily tasks. Physiological functions and processing of APPand APP metabolites, Abeta assembly and deposition, APP/Abeta: Animal models, APP/Abeta:Cellular models. In vivo therapeutics and In vitro therapeutics can also beincluded. Immune mechanisms are also considered to check the cause of Alzheimers disease.

Dementia is ageneral term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere withdaily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer's is the most common type ofdementia. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases. Vasculardementia, which occurs after a stroke, is the second most common dementia type.But there are many other conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia,including some that are reversible, such as thyroid problems and vitamindeficiencies.

Mildcognitive impairment (MCI) causes a slight but noticeable and measurabledecline in cognitive abilities, including memory and thinking skills. A personwith MCI is at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's or another dementia.

Session on: Targetsof Drug Actions in CNS

Drugmainly targets enzymes and receptor regions in the form of proteins and nucleicacid in which activities can be modified relatedly by a dosage regimen i.e.drug whose activity can be modified by a drug. The drug could be alow-molecular weight chemically inert compound or a biological compound as arecombinant protein or an antibody. The targets of Drug should show chemical,mechanical and biological responses including their in-vitro and in-vivomethods relevant to diseases. Whereas the main Neurotransmitters during theprocess of Neurotransmission,chemical targets includes mainly GABA, Glutamate etc. that operates throughfunctioning of Neuromodulators like 5 Epinephrine, Prostanoids, 5-Hydroxytryptamine, Acetylcholine that acts through both ligand gated channels andG-protein coupled receptors. Function as both Neuromodulatorand Neurotransmitter.Lipid Solubility and Binding sites are the factors for chemical signallingvariations; Intracellular receptors occupy hydrophobic chemical signals to cellsurfaces. Agonists and Antagonists modify receptor activity. Chemicalsignalling in CNS takes place through blood or other fluids but is slow infunctioning process. The cell body, dendrites, axon are the major regions forintegration of signals in neuronal and organelle regions.

Major: NeuroscienceDegree Awarded: Master of Science (MS) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Calendar Type: SemesterTotal Credit Hours: 45.5 (MS, non-thesis); 55.5 (MS, thesis); 123.5 (PhD)Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code: 26.1501Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code: 11-9121

The College of Medicine School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies offers an interdepartmental and multidisciplinary graduate program in Neuroscience leading to MS and PhD degrees. The program provides a vibrant research component for both MS and PhD degrees leading to published scientific work in reputable journals, as well as training in the panoply of research and presentation skills required to conduct and disseminate the research. Students are provided with a curriculum of integrated courses that include the essentials for biomedical research as well as courses that span cellular, developmental, systems, and behavioral neurosciences, as well as neuroanatomy and injury and disease of the nervous system. Upon completing these programs, students pursue careers in academic, governmental, or industrial settings.

The MS program provides students a broad background in neuroscience and the techniques used in neuroscience research. In addition to the thesis-based MS program, Drexel offers a non-thesis degree program in which students can earn the degree without a research project by taking additional classes and writing a literature review paper. Students who wish to continue their graduate training after the MS degree may apply to the PhD program, and their credits may be applied to the doctoral program.

The PhD program trains individuals to conduct independent hypothesis-driven research and to teach in the neurosciences. The program includes two years of coursework as well as original research leading to published thesis work. Laboratory rotations begin in the fall of the first year.

For more information, visit the College of Medicine's Neuroscience Program web site.

Students interested in cellular, systems (including neuro-engineering) and behavioral neuroscience are encouragedto apply. There are no minimal requirements but applicants should be competitive with regard to grades, GRE scores, research experience, and letters of recommendation. Applicants are encouraged to use email to contact any of the faculty of the program with whom they may share scientific interests to discuss their suitability to the program and/or potential projects in relevant laboratories.

The Drexel University College of Medicine: School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies has a rolling admissions policy, which means that complete applications are reviewed as they are received. Applicants are therefore advised to apply early, as decisions to accept or deny admission may be made before the official deadlines.

To learn more about applying to Drexel College of Medicine programs visit the College of Medicines Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies website.

Students in both the PhD and MS programs begin their coursework with a core curriculum. The curriculum consists of a series of core courses that are shared by all of the biomedical graduate programs in the medical school, and a series of programmatic courses. All students in the Neuroscience Program must take the core curriculum, although the possibility exists for students to be excused from a particular course if they are able to prove that they already have the necessary knowledge required of the particular course.

During the second year, students select elective courses and begin their thesis research in consultation with the Advisory-Examination Committee. At the end of the second year, students take a comprehensive examination to qualify for PhD candidacy.

There are three rotations in the curriculum for which the student will be assigned a grade. The purpose of these rotations is to enable the student to select the most appropriate Graduate Advisor to supervise the research project for the student. The Neuroscience Program Director and Steering Committee will advise each student on the selection of rotations, as well as on the progress and outcome of rotations. Flexibility will be afforded in certain situations in which the student may be able to select an advisor before completing all three rotations, or in situations wherein it is advisable to terminate a particular rotation early in favor of another choice.

As well as taking all required courses, MS and PhD students mayre-enroll in courses having the status repeatable for credit (such as journal club, seminar and research courses) for the duration of their program in order to meet the total number of credits required for graduation.

MS without thesis: 45.5 semester credits

Students may opt to take additional approved electives in consultation with their advisor.

MS with thesis: 55.5 minimum semester credits

Students may opt to take additional approved electives in consultation with their advisor.

Students are required to complete 123.5 credits; for additional graduation requirements, refer to the School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies Handbook and the Neuroscience Program Policies and Procedures.

During the third year, students develop a plan for their doctoral research in conjunction with their thesis advisor. A formal, written thesis proposal is then presented to the students Thesis Advisory Committee. Acceptance of this proposal after oral examination by the Committee leads to the final stage of doctoral training. PhD candidates then spend the majority of their time on thesis research. After concluding their research, they must submit and publicly defend their thesis before the Thesis-Examination Committee.

PhD students may enroll in courses having the status repeatable for credit (such as journal club, seminar and research courses) for the duration of their program in order to meet the degree completion requirement of 123.5 credits.

The objective of our research is to develop mathematical and computational models of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms involved in perception, cognition, learning, and motor function. We collaborate with experimental neuroscience labs in the design of experiments and in the analysis of neural data. We also train students at UC Berkeley in these ideas and methods. The resulting products, from basic research to software tools, are made accessible to the public, in the Berkeley tradition of open publication and open-source software.
