Graduate Program Neurosciences

The Graduate Program Neurosciences federates and animates the Master's degrees, doctoral schools and research teams at the University of Paris-Saclay in the field of Neurosciences, from the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the development and anormal and pathological functioning of the nervous system, to the application of this knowledge in diagnosis and/or for the implementation of therapeutic approaches in the context of neurological, neuropsychiatry or cancers disease affecting the nervous system. This Graduate Program develops a multidisciplinary approach to Neurosciences involving a community of biologists, physicists, chemists, (bio)computer scientists, mathematicians and physicians. The Graduate Program Neurosciences explores the multiple facets of Neurosciences through multi-scale approaches that aim to understand how the different levels of organization of nervous systems (molecules, cells, circuits, regions, organs, organisms) participate in the perception of the environment and the control of behaviour.

Master programs

The Graduate Neurosciences Programs offers two Masters programs , i) the “Cell Signaling and Integrative Neurosciences” program, whose objectives are to train students in the concepts, technological, achievements, methodological approaches and research challenges in complementary fields of Cell Signaling and Integrative Neurosciences, and ii) the “Computational Neurosciences and Neuroengineering” program which combines approaches from Neurosciences, Physics, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science to explore the perception, processing and transmission of information by the brain. These courses are open to scientific students, doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians and/or engineers. To find out the recommended M1 prerequisites and pathways for each course, plase refer to the information available in the description of each purpose of M2.
