Why INP?
A History of Innovation
2 Schools and 6 Departments Interconnected
INP students benefit from an integrated exposure to the Neurosciences at UC Irvine initially, followed by an informed entry into one of several departmental programs. In effect, this allows a students’ training to have a degree of breadth early on that would be difficult to achieve in any departmental program, followed by a degree of specialization later on that would be difficult to achieve in a multi-year large pan-departmental program.
Opportunities for INP Students
Students admitted to the program get to select from major areas of research and faculty interest that include: behavioral neuroscience, brain aging, developmental neurobiology, genetics, Learning and memory, molecular neurobiology, neural injury/disorders/repair, neuropharmacology, plasticity, sensory/perception and audition.
