ILI Neuroscience and Behavior

本提案旨在支持发展一门新的神经科学本科实验课程。本课程的目标是让学生接触神经科学领域，特别强调细胞神经科学的方法。本课程将提供20世纪90年代神经科学和行为学的实验训练，并将成为大学内神经科学和行为学本科生“集中”的重点之一。我们的目的是使实验课程成为本科生更广泛的研究经验的中心部分。我们的长期目标是创建一个垂直整合的培训企业，吸引本科生从事生物学，特别是神经科学方面的职业。所要求的设备将在一个学期内为正式实验室服务，并将在第二学期和夏季成为荣誉实验室和本科生研究体验项目的中心。

This proposal is designed to support the development of a new undergraduate laboratory course in neuroscience. The goal of the course will expose students to the field of neuroscience with particular emphasis on the methods of cellular neuroscience. This course will provide laboratory training in neuroscience and behavior as it is practiced in the l990s and it will become one of the focal points for an undergraduate neuroscience and behavior "concentration" within the University. It is our intention to make the proposed laboratory course the center piece of a more extensive research experience for undergraduates. Our long range goal is to create a vertically integrated training enterprise that would attract undergraduates to careers in biology and to neuroscience in particular. The requested equipment will serve the formal laboratory in one semester and will be the center of an honors laboratory and a Research Experience for Undergraduates program in the second semester and during the summer months.
