Overview

Students and faculty in the USC Neuroscience Graduate Program come from a variety of academic backgrounds to study questions spanning the entire spectrum of modern neuroscience research. Key questions include: how do molecules work together in time and space to build functioning nerve cells? how do individual neurons and their interconnections lead to the emergent…Continue Reading Overview
