Welcome to our Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program (NACS) website. Our NACS Graduate Program offers world-class interdisciplinary training in several broad areas:
- Systems neuroscience,
- molecular and cellular neuroscience,
- computational and cognitive neuroscience, and
- cognitive science.
|
Within and across these areas, we have faculty with internationally renowned research programs in vision, audition, sensorimotor integration, synaptic plasticity, language and communication,
|
learning, memory and decision making, and neuromorphic engineering. These research programs are housed in over 14 different departments, which participate in the NACS Graduate Program in College Park. Through our partnerships with the National Institutes of Health and Children's National Medical Center, NACS graduate students may also receive research training in laboratories of adjunct faculty at neighboring institutions. For more details regarding the opportunities on and off campus, see our faculty research guide.
We encourage you to work accross disciplines + labs
Through our partnerships with the National Institutes of Health and Children's National Medical Center, NACS graduate students may also receive research training in laboratories of adjunct faculty at neighboring institutions. NACS graduate students are encouraged to work across disciplines and pursue research projects that involve more than one laboratory. Most importantly, we have a community of faculty and students who enjoy collaborations and the exciting opportunities of our interdisciplinary research program. If you'd like to learn more about NACS and our research training program, please visit us - either electronically, through the pages of our website, or in person. We host visitors to our campus year round, and sponsor a special visitor's day in early February each year.
