UGA’s Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Graduate Program trains doctoral students using novel, multidisciplinary approaches to study the brain and behavior so that as future neuroscientists they will be prepared to address the major neurologic and neurodegenerative diseases of the 21st century.

UGA Neuroscience researchers are addressing today’s pressing and complex issues, from addiction to neurological degeneration – and beyond. Faculty are not only trained in the basic science of neuroscience, many are authorities in comparative anatomy, physiology, pathology and clinical sciences. This unique breadth of research, particularly regarding expertise of multiple species at all biological scales, allows for easy adaptation for new opportunities in human therapies.

And with our exceptional resources, faculty expertise, and instrumentation in imaging technology, bioinformatics, bioengineering, and complex behavioral paradigms, allowing for the comprehensive investigation of these diverse animal models, the UGA Neuroscience faculty are at the forefront of cutting-edge research.
