Doctor of Philosophy in Developmental, Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience

University of Houston

The graduate degree in the Integrative Program in Developmental, Cognitive, & Behavioral Neuroscience (DCBN) is designed to prepare scientists to teach and conduct research in a transdisciplinary context by providing a broad exposure to research topics and approaches within Psychology. Students identify a primary research faculty mentor in DCBN and a committee designed to guide their education and training. They choose amongst the diverse yet interactive group of faculty whose research interests cover the lifespan, employ both human and animal approaches, and focus on cognitive development, genetics and cognitive neuroscience of developmental disabilities, human classroom learning, exercise-driven neuroplasticity, addiction neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience of attention, and neural bases of bilingualism.
