We look forward to many interactions as we explore the fascinating field of neuroscience together over the next few years. This section of our website describes the Neuroscience Graduate Program requirements and expectations and details the series of milestones that you will need to accomplish as you progress toward the final goal, a Doctor of Philosophy degree from UConn Health.<\/p>\n<h3>Prospective Students<\/h3>\n<p>For those who are in the process of deciding where to attend graduate school, or determining which program at UConn Health best fits your interests, this site should provide answers to some questions you may have pertaining to our educational philosophy, research opportunities, and financial support.

The Neuroscience Graduate Program faculty members, with their diverse interests, recognize the need to include a broad spectrum of topics in our curriculum. Although the vision, language, and approaches of molecular, cellular, and physiological neuroscientists may seem far removed from those of anatomical, systems, or behavioral neuroscientists, an understanding of each is necessary if students are to appreciate nervous system function and dysfunction fully, and ultimately, meet the challenges and demands of a future career in academia or industry.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Contacts<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-7863-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-7863-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-7863-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/neuroscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/05\/xiong-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/neuroscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/05\/xiong-web.jpg\" alt=\"Yulan Xiong\" width=\"160\" height=\"208\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4702 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 160px;
