Students entering the Neuroscience Program at Brandeis have opportunities to work in a range of fields, including:

  • neurophysiology in behaving animals,
  • the physiology and theory of synapses and networks,
  • the structure and function of ion channels,
  • the neurogenetics of behavior, and
  • cognitive neuroscience in humans.

Brandeis is unique in its expertise in using model systems for research, decades long focus on circadian biology and sleep, and understanding the mechanisms of homeostatic plasticity.
