Welcome to the Stanford Neuroscience PhD program. We are a diverse community of neuroscientists with interests spanning from the behavior of individual molecules to that of awake behaving animals. Questions being addressed by our students and faculty address such issues as development of the nervous system, assembly of synapses, neurodegeneration, pain perception, neuroplasticity, sleep, epilepsy, cognitive processing, machine-brain interfaces, and many others.
The 87 faculty and 92 students in this interdepartmental program are housed in more than 19 different departments, mainly in an adjacent set of buildings on our centralized campus. Collaborations, often motivated by our students' interests, are a common theme.
Please explore this web site to learn more about the program. If you are a prospective student, please be sure to go to the Admissions Info page to learn how to apply, as well as the Faculty Interests Page to get a quick overview of the diverse interests of the faculty.
