Featuring the Hart Lab...	Illuminating genes that control neurodegeneration	Hart Lab Website
	The Hart lab studies the function of this neuron and related circuits in sensory response. They are also delineating pathways critical for human neurodegenerative diseases. The photo to the left contains the head and anterior body of an adult C. elegans. Six sensory neurons are stained red. Their sensory processes are to the right of the image; their cell bodies and processes are in the center of the image. The first few intestinal cells express GFP and are green.	Anne Hart

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.
