This award will support Professor Joseph Bronzino of Trinity College, Connecticut, in a research collaboration with Professor Pietro deFranciscis of the University of Naples, Italy. The aim of the research is to study the development of neuronal plasticity, including synaptic transmission and modulation of cell activity in chronically implanted, freely moving rats. Results of these studies would add much to our understanding of a number of developmentally-dependent hippocampal processes related to learning and memory. This award will help to maintain a successful research collaboration initiated over 10 years ago. For this research, the Italian group will collect data from groups of 45 and 90 day-old groups while the U.S. group will do the same for 15 to 30 day groups. The collaboration will expedite the exchange of scientific knowledge and will provide students with an opportunity to engage in an international research effort.

该奖项将支持康涅狄格州三一学院的Joseph Bronzino教授与意大利那不勒斯大学的Pietro defrancis教授合作进行一项研究。本研究的目的是研究长期植入自由活动大鼠的神经元可塑性的发展，包括突触传递和细胞活动的调节。这些研究的结果将大大增加我们对一些与学习和记忆有关的发育依赖性海马过程的理解。该奖项将有助于维持十多年前开始的成功研究合作。在这项研究中，意大利研究小组将从出生45天和90天的婴儿组中收集数据，而美国研究小组将从出生15天和30天的婴儿组中收集数据。这项合作将加速科学知识的交流，并将为学生提供参与国际研究工作的机会。
