The goal of the Neurosciences Ph.D. Program is to train predoctoral Ph.D. students to become leaders in neuroscience who will help us understand how the nervous system functions, from molecules to systems, from embryo to adult, and in normal and diseased states. The training program has been designed to be broadly based during the first two years, prior to full-time thesis work. It includes courses in a set of core areas to make students fluent in the multidisciplinary language and approaches of the neurosciences. Rotations in three to four labs allow them to experience the intellectual atmosphere of several lab groups, to become familiar with invaluable experimental approaches, and enable them to make a more informed choice of thesis mentor and research area. These program elements provide students with a foundation for understanding the molecular, cellular, and systems/behavioral elements that enable the nervous system to function in an integrative manner. The program also includes a retreat seminar and invited lecturers. Support is requested for 11 trainees, 7 to be shifted from the existing NIMH (5) and NIGMS (2) training grants. There are 56 students in the program, including the incoming group that will matriculate in the fall. All students will be enrolled in Stanford University's interdepartmental Neurosciences Ph.D. Program, the only academic body at Stanford that awards a Ph.D. in neurosciences. The faculty is composed of 47 members from 12 departments in the School of Medicine and in the School of Humanities and Sciences. The faculty is highly interactive, well supported and diverse. Their research interests cover nearly every aspect of the structure and function of the nervous system including organization of pathways, sensorimotor integration, synaptic transmission and membrane excitability, structure and function of receptors and ion channels, neurohormones, gene expression, neural development, plasticity and regeneration. The Program Committee which reflects the broad interests of the program faculty will select trainees and monitor their progress. Selection is on the basis of scholastic achievements, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and interviews. The positions will be advertised nationally and applications will be solicited in accord with, and in the spirit of, affirmative action. Past trainees of the Program have been extremely successful in pursuing research careers.

神经科学博士的目标计划将培训副业博士学位。学生成为神经科学领域的领导者，他们将帮助我们了解神经系统的功能，从分子到系统，从胚胎到成人以及正常和患病状态。该培训计划的设计旨在在全日制论文工作之前的头两年中广泛基于。它包括一组核心领域的课程，以使学生流利地了解多学科语言和神经科学的方法。三到四个实验室的轮换使他们能够体验几个实验室组的智力氛围，可以熟悉宝贵的实验方法，并使他们能够对论文导师和研究领域进行更明智的选择。这些程序要素为学生提供了理解分子，细胞和系统/行为元素的基础，这些元素使神经系统能够以整合的方式运行。该计划还包括一个务虚会和受邀讲师。要求支持11名学员，从现有的NIMH（5）和NIGMS（2）培训补助金转移。该计划中有56名学生，其中包括秋季入学的入学人群。所有学生将入学斯坦福大学的跨部门神经科学博士。计划，斯坦福大学唯一授予博士学位的学术机构。在神经科学中。该学院由来自医学院和人文与科学学院的12个部门的47名成员组成。该教师具有高度互动，得到良好的支持和多样化。他们的研究兴趣涵盖了神经系统的结构和功能的几乎每个方面，包括途径的组织，感觉运动整合，突触传播和膜兴奋性，受体和离子通道的结构和功能，神经激素，基因表达，神经发育，可塑性，可塑性和再生。反映计划教师的广泛利益的计划委员会将选择受训者并监视他们的进步。选择是基于学术成就，GRE分数，推荐信和访谈。这些职位将在全国范围内做广告，并以平权行动的精神征求申请。该计划的过去学员在从事研究职业方面非常成功。
