Neuroscience couse is for development of trained ‘manpower having a broad overview of the different aspects of neuroscience. tis planned fo teach this course at the postgraduate level, imparting the brood perspeclive of the different dlscipines, which “comprise neuroscience over a fwo-yeor period, The Training: if W's hoped that the MSc, Neuroscience programme would offer training in neuroscience to {greduates who would then be well equioped fo take up thei Ph.D. work in specific areas of bron research, The students with a MSc. in Neuroscience Degree would have acquired the basic knowledge n maior Giscipines of neuroscience, such as neuroanatomy, nevtophysiology, neurochemisty, molecular Neurobiology, neurogenelics, cognitive neuroscience and the knowledge of working of motor. sensory and regulatory systems. The development and regeneration of the bran as wel as the knowledge in basics of nical neuroscience in terms of diseases and ciognostic took would aso be provided. The students would {980 acquire proclical knowledge in the above aspects os well as in research’ methodology ond computational stl SyuLasus (2015-2017) Moster of Science in Neuroscience course shal comprise of four semesters of sx months duration -ach.
