DESCRIPTION (Adapted From The Abstract Provided By Applicant): The purpose of this post-doctoral program is to train Ph.D. students and M.D. fellows for careers in neuroscience research. The program is highly focused in neuronal signaling, encompassing many of the most exciting areas of modem neuroscience which rely on techniques of cellular and molecular neuroscience. Studies on neuronal signaling pathways have lead to new insights in understanding neurological diseases and conditions such as Huntington?s, Alzheimer?s, Parkinson?s, epilepsy and stroke. A common theme in these diseases is often defects in signaling pathways. The focus of this program was chosen owing to its impact in normal and pathological diseases and the overall expertise of the training faculty. The twelve faculty in the training program are all members of the Vollum Institute, a major research unit of Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). The Vollum Institute contains approximately 39,000 square feet of wellequipped laboratory research space plus adjacent offices, conference rooms, etc. The concentration of outstanding faculty in a single research unit offers a highly focused and interactive environment for post-doctoral training. In Addition to laboratory research training, post-doctoral trainees will participate in numerous other activities designed to enhance their career development. Included among these are a course on The Practice and Ethics of Science, the Vollum Seminar series (outside speakers), Vollum noon Seminar series (short talks by post-doctoral fellows), a scientific writing course, and a series of career development workshops which include such topics as grant writing, setting up a laboratory, job interviewing, etc. Trainees, as a group, will also meet monthly with mentors and present updates on their research.

描述（改编自申请人提供的摘要）： 本博士后项目主要培养博士生。学生和MD研究员为 从事神经科学研究。该计划高度集中在神经元 信号传导，涵盖了现代神经科学中许多最令人兴奋的领域 它依赖于细胞和分子神经科学的技术。研究 神经元信号传导通路为我们理解 神经系统疾病和病症，如亨廷顿舞蹈症？老年痴呆症？s， 帕金森？癫痫和中风。这些疾病的一个共同主题往往是 信号通路的缺陷。选择该方案的重点是， 它对正常和病理疾病的影响以及 培训教师。培训计划的十二名教师都是 沃勒姆研究所是俄勒冈州健康科学的主要研究单位 大学（OHSU）。Vollum研究所占地约39，000平方米， 英尺的设备齐全的实验室研究空间加上相邻的办公室， 会议室等。优秀的教师集中在一个单一的 研究单位提供了一个高度集中和互动的环境， 博士后培训。除了实验室研究培训外， 博士后学员将参加许多其他活动， 促进他们的职业发展。其中包括一门关于 科学实践与伦理，Vollum研讨会系列（外部演讲者）， Vollum noon研讨会系列（博士后研究员的简短演讲），一个科学 写作课程，以及一系列职业发展讲习班，其中包括 课题如申请拨款、建立实验室、工作面试等。 学员作为一个群体，也将每月与导师见面，并介绍最新情况 他们的研究。
