Abstract: With the rapid development of brain science in recent years, many countries sponsored a “Human Brain Project”. As a backbone course of brain science, neurobiology aims to understand the structure and function of brain. The graduate education of neurobiology plays a crucial role in cultivating talents in brain science field. To achieve this goal, a rational curriculum program of neurobiology is very necessary and important, which can directly influence the academic level and innovation ability as well as academic morality of the graduates. With the opportunity of human brain project and teaching practice of department of neurobiology in the Fourth Military Medical University in recent few years, we established a new system of neurobiology curriculum for the medical graduate students. This curriculum system combines academic morality, basic knowledge with skill training in neurobiology, which lays a foundation for the cultivation of talents in brain science.

Key words: Graduate education, Neurobiology, Teaching reform
