The Neuroscience Program at the University of Miami trains graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for research and teaching careers in the neurosciences. The research interests of the faculty include: the cellular mechanisms underlying neurological diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and AIDS-related dementia; the ways in which chemical addictions are acquired and can be controlled; strategies to limit and even repair damage to the brain and spinal cord; the molecular mechanisms underlying ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors; sensory transduction; mechanisms of learning and memory; and the development of the nervous system.
