Neuroscience
Neuroscience seeks to understand how nervous systems are organized to generate skilled movement, perception, cognition and emotion, and how the systems react to disease or therapeutic interventions. Born at the crossroads between cellular and systems biology, computer science, neurology and psychology, Neuroscience is today a thriving, multidisciplinary and rapidly advancing field.
The UAM PhD Program in Neuroscience is a 3-5 yr. training cycle in professional scientific research. The Program has trained over 200 students, who now work in Universities, Research Institutes, Hospitals or in the Biomedical Industry, in Spain and abroad. The Program is run by the UAM Department of Anatomy, Histology and Neuroscience .In addition, researchers from the Cajal Institute of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) and from Alcalá de Henares University also participate this Program It is a member of the European Network of Neuroscience Schools (https://www.fens.org/Training/NENS/) and participates in the training activities of the European Federation of Neuroscience Societies (https://www.fens.org/Training/).
The Ph.D. thesis Project is the focal point of each student work in the Program. The Project must aim at producing high-quality scientific findings, publishable in JCR-indexed international journals. The scientific content and design of the Project are the responsibility of the student and his/her Advisor, as it is the procurement of public or private funding for its development. The Program Committee supervises the project progress and can make recommendations for improvement. The UAM Doctorate Center (EDUAM) is in charge of the administrative procedures and of coordinating UAM Graduate Programs.
