Welcome!

Neuroscience research at Dartmouth is conducted in a number of departments and research centers across Dartmouth College, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and Thayer School of Engineering. This site brings together information regarding graduate programs and faculty research with links to seminars and events related to all things neuroscience at Dartmouth.

We are excited to launch a new Integrative Neuroscience at Dartmouth (IND) graduate program. Check out the website here!
