	We study brain mechanisms of voluntary movement and motor learning using neuroimaging and behavioral methods. Recently, we have investigated brain activation patterns during the merging of brain representations for eye and hand movements needed for accurate visually-guided actions. The graphic (left) illustrates regions more activated when one learns rules to associate a spatial (blue highlights) or object (yellow-orange highlights) cues with an arbitrary movement.

Neuroscience Graduate Program News

The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at Brown University offers advanced study for academic and research careers in the field of neuroscience. The program promotes and encourages interdisciplinary research that crosses traditional discipline and department boundaries, while at the same time providing a strong foundation in core concepts. Research in the program encompasses multiple levels of investigation from genes, molecules, cells, networks, systems, to behaving animals and employs an impressive array of methods. All students receive their Ph.D.s from Brown after satisfying program requirements and completing a significant body of original research.

The Brown Neuroscience Graduate Program is supported in part by two prestigious training grants. The Jointly Sponsored Predoctoral Training Grant in the Neurosciences supports students in their first two years of training and promotes cross disciplinary-type research. The NINDS Predoctoral Training Program supports later year students whose research will promote our understanding of neurological diseases and stroke.
