PHD PROGRAM IN BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE

Call for application 38° cycle

Educational goals and objectives

The main objective is the training of scholars in the neuroscience field with specific methodological skills, but with an interdisciplinary theoretical perspective. The doctorate is divided into 4 curricula (Psychobiology and Psychopharmacology; Behavioral Neurophysiology; Cognitive Neuroscience; Neuropsychology) that allow the acquisition of specific theoretical-methodological skills, and a series of inter-curricular activities that promote interdisciplinarity.
The PhD scholarship object of present competition is aimed at training a scholar capable of developing diagnosis and rehabilitation protocols for Cognitive and Behavioral Disorders (CoBeDis) occurring in individuals who suffered cardiovascular accidents or cardiac surgery, which facilitate CoBeDis resolution, reducing the current social costs. The tools developed during the PhD will be usable both in presence and on the telematic platform.
