To generalize,

In article <3ij55c$clv at newsbf02.news.aol.com> you write:
>I am looking into various doctoral programs in neuropsychology and have
>become aware of several related fields. What is the difference between
>neuropsychology

Human subjects; the field centers on humans.

>and psychology programs in behavioral neuroscience or

Studying animal behavior in conjunction with brain activity, or after 
giving brain manipulations, like drugs or lesions.

>psych. programs in neuroscience?

More reductionist than behavioral neuroscience, but not as reductionist 
as programs in bio. departments.  Really you should contact the faculty 
at the schools you are thinking about, and/or read their research.
