		   GRADUATE PROGRAM IN NEUROSCIENCE
		   UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,  DAVIS

The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of California,
Davis offers interdisciplinary training in areas from molecular to
cognitive neuroscience.  Many research opportunities exist for
students interested in computational modeling approaches to problems
in neuroscience.  The Center for Neuroscience and the Institute for
Theoretical Dynamics provide students and faculty with numerous
research facilities and an excellent environment for combining
theoretical and experimental approaches.

Relevant faculty include:

David Amaral - structure and function of hippocampus, amygdala
Ken Britten - visual cortex, neural basis of motion perception
Leo Chalupa - retina neurophysiology, development 
Barbara Chapman - development and plasticity of sensory systems
Charles Gray - cortical mechanisms  of pattern recognition, rhythmic activity
Andrew Ishida - retinal ganglion cells, synaptic integration
Joel Keizer - computational modeling, cell physiology, calcium dynamics
Leah Krubitzer - cortical organization, comparative anatomy
Ron Mangun - selective attention, cognitive neuroimaging
Bruno Olshausen - computational models of vision, efficient coding
Robert Rafal - neuropsychology of visual attention
Gregg Recanzone - cortical mechanisms of attention, sensory processing 
Lynn Robertson - spatial vision, object recognition, hemispheric differences
Karen Sigvart - neural control of locomotion
Mitch Sutter - cortical mechanisms of auditory perception, plasticity
Martin Wilson - synaptic transmission in the retina
