COURSE ON FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF VISION

意义和具体目标：描述了一门课程， 为学生提供访问教师谁是领导者的研究， 视觉的分子和细胞生物学在海洋生物实验室， 1994年、1996年和1998年，马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔。 本课程基于一门课程 1993年提供，由NEL和MBL作为合同赞助。 一些 的领导，这当然是继续在领导， 建议的路线。 该课程提供实验室，研讨会， 讲座和案例会议/期刊俱乐部的形式，以最大限度地发挥积极的 学习的组成部分。 学生将从受访者中选出， 在细胞和分子生物学杂志上刊登广告， 神经科学 重点将放在选择符合以下条件的学生上 目前没有参与视觉研究，以介绍他们， 研究他们感兴趣的课题的机会， 视觉系统 学院将在合作协议中选择与 NEI让NEI员工参与教师身份认证， 选择和批准，并参与学生的选择。 的 具体的教师尚未选定，但每个领导 1994年课程的主题已确定为协理主任， 将参与合作选拔教师。 学院 如果提案获得批准，将被选中，它们将类似于 质量和数量1992年被选中的人。 强调 教师在分子和细胞方面的专业知识， 视觉研究的贡献将是一个重要的标准， 选择.

Significance and Specific Aims: A course is described which is designed to offer students access to faculty who are leaders in studies of the molecular and cell biology of vision at the Marine Biology Laboratory at Woods Hole, MA in 1994, 1996 and 1998. The course is based on a course offered in 1993 which was sponsored as a contract by NEL and MBL. Some of the leadership of that course are continuing in leadership the proposed course. The course offers experience in laboratories, seminars, lectures and a case conference/journal club format to maximize the active component of learning. Students will be selected from respondents to advertisements in journals of cell and molecular biology and neurosciences. Emphasis will be placed on selection of students who are not currently involved in vision research in order to introduce them to opportunities for research on topics of interest to them within the visual system. Faculty will be selected in cooperative agreement with NEI to involve NEI staff participation in faculty identification, selection and approval and participation in student selection. The specific faculty have not yet been selected but the leadership of each topic for the 1994 course have been identified as Associate Directors who will participate in the cooperative selection of faculty. The faculty will be chosen if the proposal is approved and they will resemble in quality and quantity those who were selected in 1992. Emphasis on faculty expertise in molecular and cellular aspects in their contributions in vision research will be an important criterion for selection.
