CCSN Pathway
The Cognitive, Computational, and Systems Neuroscience
Curriculum Pathway (CCSN) is a specialized curriculum
that is available to students who are pursuing the Ph.D.
degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, or Neural Engineering
(this includes students in the MSTP program who are
seeking a Ph.D. in one of these areas). Traditional
anatomical, physiological, and behavioral techniques
are combined with cutting-edge engineering approaches
to non-invasive neuroimaging as well as computational
strategies essential for modeling brain function. The
CCSN curriculum helps students develop the critical
thinking skills necessary to tackle problems using interdisciplinary
approaches. Click

Summer Courses
Several institutions offer superb advanced laboratory
and semester courses during the summer. We encourage
students and fellows to take advantage of these courses.
Support is available from the Merlie Fellowship.
Merlie Traveling Fellowship
John Merlie was an eminent molecular neurobiologist
who joined the faculty at Washington University in 1982
and was an active member of the neuroscience Graduate
program until his death in 1995. Following his death,
numerous friends and colleagues contributed to a fund
established in his name. The aim was to provide support
for program activities, with emphasis on graduate training.
In deciding how to use the fund, his colleagues and
widow took account of the facts that he was a superb
mentor, generously provided training opportunities to
students from other laboratories, and taught in the
Neurobiology course at Woods Hole. Accordingly, it was
decided to establish a Fellowship that would help make
it possible for young neuroscientists to visit other
laboratories or institutions, in order to obtain advanced
training in topics and methods not readily available
at Washington University.
