The Behavioral Neurosciences Program provides a true translational link between cutting-edge research and its emphasis on medical patient care. Our students and alumnae represent strong, talented and highly productive professionals. The strength and uniqueness of the Behavioral Neurosciences\u00a0Program is exemplified in the quality and constitution of our course offerings, faculty and research opportunities.<\/p>\n<h4>About the Program<\/h4>\n<p>The Behavioral Neurosciences PhD Program is an\u00a0interdisciplinary program administered through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/gms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Graduate Medical Sciences<\/a>, BUSM, and consists of\u00a0faculty members mainly in\u00a0the\u00a0Departments of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/neurology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neurology<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/psychiatry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Psychiatry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/anatneuro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anatomy &amp; Neurobiology<\/a>\u00a0(many holding joint appointments within\u00a0the VA Boston Healthcare System).<\/p>\n<p>The key features of the program are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The delineation and analysis of perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, affective and behavioral disorders observed in neurologic disease, as these disorders contribute to an understanding of normal brain function and its modification by pathology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The subject matter derives primarily\u00a0from clinical populations with neurological disorders\u00a0affecting higher processes, particularly from the study of syndromes involving selective impairment of functional systems such as memory, language, attention, executive functioning and\/or purposeful movement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Current methods of clinical assessment, neuropsychology, experimental design and the neurosciences are integrated into a broad program focused on\u00a0clinical research. \u00a0There is also some\u00a0opportunity\u00a0for basic science research, but limited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Contact Us:<\/h4>\n<p><span>Carole Palumbo, PhD, Director<br \/>\n<\/span><span>Behavioral Neurosciences PhD Program<br \/>\nBoston University Chobanian &amp; Avedisian School of Medicine<br \/>\n72 East Concord,\u00a0R-1017<br \/>\nBoston, MA 02118<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:cpalumbo@bu.edu\">cpalumbo@bu.edu<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mission of the Behavioral Neurosciences PhD Program is to provide\u00a0students with a firm foundation in basic principles and methods of Experimental Neuropsychology in preparation for\u00a0embarking on a career as an experimental neuropsychologist and behavioral neuroscientist in academia or industry.
