Neuroscience explores the nervous system through scientific investigation. This field employs diverse approaches, merging physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cell biology, computer science, and mathematical modeling to uncover how brain cells function individually and collectively.
Learners examine multiple analytical perspectives - from molecular and cellular to systems, behavioral, and cognitive - addressing fundamental and applied questions about brain-behavior connections.
The neuroscience doctoral program incorporates graduate-level coursework from various campus departments and collaborating Phoenix-area institutions. These partners comprise Barrow Neurological Institute, Translational Genomics Research Institute, University of Arizona College of Medicine, and Sun Health Research Institute.
