GRK 736: Development and Plasticity of the Nervous System: Molecular, Synaptic and Cellular Mechanisms

研究培训小组为自然科学和医学博士生提供最高水平的神经科学跨学科教育。该计划的主题是发育神经生物学，研究项目包括神经发生，轴突和树突分化，干细胞分化，突触前和突触后分化和电偶联的分子分析，突触可塑性，离子通道生物学，神经细胞表面分子和神经营养因子在细胞分化和信号传导中的作用，病变诱导的可塑性，以及神经退行性疾病动物模型中神经元群的分析。因此，学院接受各种现代技术的方法和概念培训，这些培训通常不包括在提供教学的院系的正规学习方案中。此外，该计划还包括由研究培训小组的主管和“北威州神经科学国际研究生院”提供的“从分子到认知”讲座，回顾神经科学的所有领域，研讨会和外国演讲者的讲座。

The research training group offers highest-level interdisciplinary education in the neurosciences for doctoral students in Natural Sciences and Medicine. The topic of the programme is Developmental Neurobiology and research includes projects on neurogenesis, axonal and dendritic differentiation, stem cell differentiation, molecular analyses of pre- and postsynaptic differentiation and electrical coupling, synaptic plasticity, biology of ion channels, the role of neural cell surface molecules and of neurotrophic factors for cellular differentiation and signalling, lesion-induced plasticity, and analysis of neuron populations in animal models for neurodegenerative diseases. Accordingly, the collegiates receive methodological and conceptual training in a variety of modern techniques which are usually not included in the regular study programmes of the contributing faculties. Further, the programme includes the lecture "From Molecule to Cognition" delivered by the supervisors of the research training grouop and the "International Graduate School NRW for Neuroscience" reviewing all fields of neuroscience, seminars, and lectures by foreign speakers.
