- Abstract
The article discusses the growth of neuroscience doctorates during the 1960s in the United States as basis for the future plans by the Society for Neurosciences. It was mentioned that Neuroscience doctorates were not previously differentiated from parent fields, which resulted to difficulty in identifying graduates of the field. There were 1370 reported doctorates in 1960s which contributed to neurosciences, of which 5 percent were awarded in all fields of bioscience. It explores the 75 U.S. institutions leading in the average of neuroscience indices, which includes Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Washington University.
