A
Message from Marlene Oscar Berman, PhD
Director
of the Behavioral Neuroscience Program
Welcome!
The
Behavioral Neuroscience PhD Program is administered through the Division
of Graduate Medical Sciences, Boston University School of Medicine
(BUSM), by faculty members of the Department of Neurology and/or the
Division of Psychiatry, BUSM (holding joint appointments at the Department
of Veterans Affairs [VA] Healthcare System in Boston or Bedford, MA).
The
focus of the Program is on 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.
The
subject matter derives chiefly, but nor exclusively, from clinical
populations with neurological disorders affecting higher processes,
particularly from the study of syndromes involving selective impairment
of functional systems such as memory, emotion, language, or purposeful
movement.
Current
methods clinical assessment, cognitive psychology, experimental design,
and the neurosciences are integrated into a broad program of clinical
and basic research.
Sincerely,
Marlene
Oscar Berman, PhD
Program
