Research training in how the nervous system works, how it develops, and how it can be affected by drugs and disease. This Neuroscience program is offered at Wake Forest University.

Our Neuroscience graduate program at University of Victoria focuses on cellular and cognitive neurosciences, reflecting UVic's two major neuroscience research streams.

How do our brains work? How do millions of individual neurons work together to give rise to behavior at the level of a whole organism? Training researchers to answer these fundamental, unanswered questions is the goal of the Neuroscience program in the Princeton University. 

The Psychology and Neuroscience program at Boston College is aimed at students who intend to become research psychologists and neuroscientists, participating in the basic search for knowledge about the human mind and brain.

The Psychology - Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience concentration at Georgia State University focuses on the neural bases for cognitive and affective processes in humans, and typically uses a combination of psychological experimental methods and non-invasive imaging techniques in healthy populations.

Ph.D. students in the Psychology - Clinical Neuropsychology concentration at Georgia State University receive general clinical psychology training, as well as specialized clinical neuropsychology training consistent with American Psychological Association (APA) requirements for doctoral training in clinical psychology and the Houston Guidelines for training in neuropsychology.

The graduate degree in the Integrative Program in Developmental, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neuroscience (DCBN) at University of Houston is designed to prepare scientists to teach and conduct research in a transdisciplinary context by providing a broad exposure to research topics and approaches within Psychology.
