The Neuroscience program is part of the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neurosience. Our facilities include: A wide range of apparatus for studying animal behavior, including water mazes, radial mazes and operant chambers; Microscopes for the analysis of neural tissue, including confocal microscopes, high resolution slide scanners, an electron microscope, as well as standard light microscopes; Set-ups for in-vivo imaging at both macroscopic and microscopic scales; A dedicated molecular biology lab for cellular imaging using immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization; a dedicated Western blot biology lab; Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging suitable for metabolomic analysis; Six high density multi-channel recording systems for parallel single-cell electrophysiology and local field potential studies in awake behaving animals; A high-performance parallel computer cluster; A high-density human electroencephalography (EEG) recording system; A new 3T human MRI; A 4T animal MRI; Extensive video analysis facilities, including a Peak Performance motion analysis system.

Hold an undergraduate degree in a related discipline; Have a minimum grade point average of 3.00 (based on the uLethbridge 4.00 scale) on the last 20 graded university-level term courses; Demonstrate English Language Proficiency (ELP) for graduate student; Secure a potential supervisor. Because the capacity of the program is limited, not all students who meet the minimum admission requirements can be admitted. Criteria used for admission include: Your record and letters of recommendation; Your proposed supervisor’s record of scholarship, completed and current, especially in relation to your proposed work; The feasibility of your project in the light of available resources; Your financial support.
