Both UCLA and UMich Ann Arbor are ranked top nationally in the psychology specialty rankings: Behavioral Neuroscience.
UC Berkeley is in the top 4 nationally for the specialty. Programs in Behavioral Neuroscience focus on animal behavior, sensory physiology, biological rhythyms, and ethological approaches. All students in the program will be required to take a proseminar course providing a broad overview of topics in systems-level neuroscience.
The Neuroscience Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was established in 1971. Training will lead to the Ph.D. degree in neuroscience or the M.D./Ph.D. degree in cooperation with the School of Medicine and Public Health.
