This mandatory pass/fail course is for first-year graduate students in the Neuroscience and Behavior Program. This course provides the opportunity for incoming graduate students to interact regularly with other graduate students and faculty to maintain a sense of community within the Program. Students will learn about available opportunities for extramural funding, the basics of grant-writing, and learn to become active participants in discussions of research in
colloquia. Resources that are available on-campus and on-line for research related activities will be highlighted. At the end of the semester each student will prepare and present an academic talk regarding their research or research interests. A series of short seminars will be given by faculty within the Neuroscience and Behavior Program to allow students to become familiar with current research in each of the core areas of the program: Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience; Neural and Behavioral Development; Neuroendocrinology; Animal Behavior, Learning and Computational Neuroscience; and, Sensory and Motor Systems.
