Prospective Neuroscience Graduate Students, I'd like to make you aware of the
Neurosciences Graduate Program at USC, wihich encompases a unique blend of
research and coursework in the Neural, Behavioral, and Informational Sciences.
This interdisciplinary program includes over 100 faculty members doing research
on the nervous system from almost every perspective. It is centered in the
new, 6 floor Hedco Neurosciences Building, and currently has almost 50 students
working toward a PhD in Neurosciences. Faculty are associated with a number of
Schools and Departments, including Biology, Computer Science, Psychology,
Biomedical Engineering, Neurology, Pharmacy, and Gerontology. In addition,
USC has a major Human Brain Project directed by Michael Arbib and funded by a
consortium of federal agencies that involves a collaboration between
Neurobiology and Computer Science, and is focussed on developing and applying
the latest in informatics to biological mechanisms of learning and memory. The
Neurosciences Graduate Program web site is currently under revision; to learn
