          GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING IN NEUROSCIENCE
                   UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS

The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of California,
Davis offers interdisciplinary training in areas spanning from
molecular to cognitive neuroscience.  Many research opportunities
exist for students and postdocs 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.  The Center for
Neuroscience also offers postdoctoral training via an NIH sponsored
training grant.

Relevant faculty include:

David Amaral - structure and function of hippocampus, amygdala
Marie Burns - photoreceptors, molecular mechanisms of transduction
Ken Britten - visual cortex, neural basis of motion perception
Leo Chalupa - retinal neurophysiology, development 
Barbara Chapman - development and plasticity of sensory systems
Will DeBello - auditory system development
Fred Gorin - molecular neurobiology, neuroinformatics
Andrew Ishida - retinal ganglion cells, synaptic integration
Ted Jones - thalamo-cortical interactions, neuroinformatics
Leah Krubitzer - cortical organization, comparative anatomy
Kim McAllister - synaptic physiology, development
Brian Mulloney - central pattern generator circuits for locomotion
Bruno Olshausen - computational models of vision, efficient coding
Gregg Recanzone - plasticity in auditory cortex
Karen Sigvart - neural control of locomotion, Parkinson's disease
Mitch Sutter - cortical mechanisms of auditory perception
Marty Usrey - retina/LGN/V1 physiology, neural circuits and spike timing
Jack Werner - color vision and aging
Martin Wilson - synaptic transmission in the retina
Ewa Wojciulik - visual attention, functional imaging
Andy Yonelinas - memory, functional imaging

Davis is located approximately 15 miles west of Sacramento, the state
capital.  It is a unique community with miles of bicycle paths and
beautiful parks, and in close proximity to the Napa and Sonoma wine
country, the San Francisco bay area, Lake Tahoe and the High Sierra.
