The internationally recognized Behavioral and Cellular Neuroscience (BCN) faculty explores fundamental questions concerning the biological basis of behavior, including the neurobiology of learning and memory, drug addiction, psychopathology, and recovery of neural function after injury. BCN faculty affiliate with the interdisciplinary Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience (TAMIN), which centers a variety of neuroscience activities, including courses, seminars, symposia, and research collaborations. Graduate training in BCN focuses on laboratory research using cutting-edge neuroscience methods including opto- and chemogenetics, behavioral electrophysiology, confocal microscopy, and molecular neurobiology. In the course of their training, students develop a close collaborative relationship with a primary advisor to develop a series of hypothesis-driven experiments that culminates in a dissertation. Throughout this process, BCN faculty members work closely with students to publish their work, and most students in the program publish several scientific papers in addition to their dissertation.
