This project is developing an undergraduate physiology or neurosciences program. Undergraduates are being provided with training in the neurosciences and physiology that is has previously been unavailable due to lack of appropriate instrumentation. Productive research in neurosciences (and animal physiology) requires extensive technical skills and background. Many undergraduates lack the training to even be considered for undergraduate research or participation in summer research and training programs in the neurosciences. Therefore, the project is building three neurosciences workstations and incorporating four neurophysiological exercises into a junior-level course in animal physiology. This plan compliments and improves the course emphasis on neurosciences while enhancing the student skills necessary for advanced study and research. The new instrumentation is stimulating undergraduate research in the neurosciences and physiology. In addition, the project prepares students for productive summer enrichment programs in the neurosciences and increases interest in graduate careers in the neurosciences and animal physiology.

这个项目正在开发一个本科生理学或神经科学项目。本科生正在接受神经科学和生理学方面的培训，这是以前由于缺乏适当的仪器而无法获得的。神经科学（和动物生理学）的生产性研究需要广泛的技术技能和背景。许多本科生缺乏训练，甚至不能被考虑参加本科研究或参加神经科学的暑期研究和培训项目。因此，该项目正在建立三个神经科学工作站，并将四个神经生理学练习纳入初级动物生理学课程。该计划补充并改善了课程对神经科学的强调，同时提高了学生的高级学习和研究所需的技能。这种新仪器刺激了神经科学和生理学的本科生研究。此外，该项目为学生在神经科学方面的富有成效的夏季丰富课程做好准备，并增加了对神经科学和动物生理学研究生职业的兴趣。
