 The Department of Neuroscience offers specialization
leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in medical
sciences, and in special cases, the Master of Science degree.
All students receive training in neuroanatomy, develop-
mental and recovery of function neurobiology, behavioral
neurobiology, cellular neurophysiology, sensory and mo-
tor neurobiology, molecular and cellular neurochemistry,
neuroendocrinology and neuropharmacology.
 Prospective students should have sound preparation in
biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and behavioral
sciences. An important consideration, however, is a dem-
onstration of high motivation and a serious intention to
pursue a research career in the neuroscience. Prior labo-
ratory experience is regarded favorably. Only students with
strong undergraduate credentials and high GRE scores are
considered for admission.


BMS 6510-Neurophysiology (4) Cellular and membrane bases
of electrical potentials, energy transduction, and information
transfer in neurons, glia, and special sense organs.
GMS 6703-Pain and Somesthesis (3) Current research on central
nervous system coding and information, using somesthesis as a
model, with particular emphasis on pain.
GMS 6735-Neuropharmacology (3) Prereq: background in
biochemistry and basic neuroscience or consentof instructor. The
identification, synthesis, metabolism, and pharmacology of neu-
rotransmitters and their receptors, to include biogenic amines,
neuropeptides, and other nervous system transmitters.
GMS 7706C-Medical Neuroscience (4) Comprehensive over-
view of human neuroanatomy from the subcellular to the gross
tissue level. Lectures cover neurochemistry, neuropharmacology,


neurophysiology, neuroendocrinology, and neurobehavioral bi-
ology. Clinical correlation and applications. H. S/U option avail-
able for nonmedical sciences majors.
GMS 7720-Motor Systems (3) Discussion to focus on the
segmental and suprasegmental regulation of motor activity in the
normal spinal cord, how these mechanisms are affected by spinal
cord trauma, and the hypothetical framework for seeking ways to
restore or improve motor function in the injured spinal cord.
Emphasis to be given from a combined anatomical and physio-
logical perspective to topics such as muscle spindle system,
spasticity, midbrain and spinal pattern generators, recovery of
locomotion in lower vertebrates, neuroplasticity, cell biology of
axonal regeneration, and neural tissue transplantation.
GMS 7731-Molecular Neurobiology (4) Prereq: biochemistry.
Introduction and overview of modern neurochemistry, including
a brief introduction of neuroendocrinology and neuropharmacol-
ogy. Neural cell biology and metabolism will be discussed with
emphasis on the relationships of molecular mechanisms to neural
function.
GMS 7733-Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology (4)
GMS 7740-Neuroscience Seminar (1; max: 12) Readings and
discussions of current topics in neuroscience. S/U.

cience and allied disciplines.
GMS 7742-Research Methods in Neuroscience (1-7; max: 12)
Research techniques in experimental neuroscience.
GMS 7743-Developmental Neurobiology (3) Seminar on the
neuroanatomical and functional development of the nervous
system. Discussion of mechanisms of embryonic neurogenesis,
behavioral embryology, and current research in neuroembryol-
ogy.
