Masters degrees in Neuroscience: A program that focuses on the interdisciplinary scientific study of the molecular, structural, physiologic, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of the brain and nervous system. Includes instruction in molecular and cellular neuroscience, brain science, anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system, molecular and biochemical bases of information processing, behavioral neuroscience, biology of neuropsychiatric disorders, and applications to the clinical sciences and biomedical engineering.
How the nervous system forms is an intriguing puzzle that has implications for genetic and environmental birth defects, and for treating neural diseases. Within the Center for Neuropharmacology & Neuroscience, a number of developmental neuroscience topics are being studied. One involves characterizing the progenitor cells that produce neurons and glia during brain formation. Others include examination of mechanisms governing development of such...
Research efforts are also directed at understanding the mechanisms involved in entities such as Parkinson's disease, eating disorders and diabetic neuropathy.
Pain is being attacked by Center for Neuropharmacology & Neuroscience researchers in several different ways. Immunohistochemical studies of the skin are exploring the mechanims by which sensory fibers and skin cells participate in normal and and abnormal pain transmission. Other studies, utilizing biochemical and behavioral methods, are aimed at activating the brain's own pain-relieving pathways with new medications....
Cerebral ischemia, or reduced blood flow to the brain, as occurs in stroke or trauma, is a significant clinical problem. Studies are aimed at understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with ischemia. These involve identification of the chemical (e.g., amino acid) and cellular (e.g., astroglia) bases of this condition
The study of brain functions includes the physiology of circuits involved in them. Topics studied include physiology of the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortical circuits, somatosensory organization, control of urinary function, effects of stress and cortical lateralization.
The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) provides advanced training and research experience for graduate students and qualified undergraduates interested in the neural and computational principles, mechanisms, and architectures that underlie human and animal behavior, and the application of neural network architectures to the solution of technological problems. The department’s training and research focus on two broad questions....
In addition to all courses required for the Bachelor of Science degree, the B.S./M.S. degree requires completion of the following:
* one additional elective (excluding research courses) approved in advance by the biochemist department advising head,
* three semesters of research (one or two semesters of BCHM 99 plus one or two semesters of BCHM 150),
* a full-time (i.e., no concurrent coursework) summer research residency lasting at...
UMUC offered its first distance education courses in 1972. Today, more than 30 percent of our students are enrolled in courses that do not require on-site class attendance. The Internet serves as their link to the university.
UMUC holds the highest honor given in Web education: the Sloan Consortium...
