PhD in Neuroscience - Behavior and Cognitive Neurosciences in Minneapolis United States | University of Minnesota Twin Cities

The brain serves as a hub for processing information, operating via interconnected neural networks. Behavioral and cognitive neuroscience explores core questions about how knowledge is gained, retained, and applied. Disruptions in these processes lead to neurological disorders impacting these three key areas. The WHO reports that mental health disorders rank among the costliest medical conditions globally. NIMH data from 2015 indicates that 20% of Americans experience mental health challenges, with 6% facing severe impairments. University of Minnesota researchers in this field have made substantial contributions to comprehending, preventing, and managing psychiatric conditions. Within the Neuroscience Graduate Program, more than 35 faculty members are actively investigating these intricate cerebral mechanisms, representing a robust and expanding research focus.
