DESCRIPTION (Adapted From The Abstract Provided By Applicant): This program will provide broad, early-stage training in the neurosciences to pre-doctoral students at the University of Michigan. It will support 8 Ph.D. students in the interdepartmental Neuroscience Program during their first two years in the program. Once students complete the initial training supported by this grant, they carry out doctoral research in the laboratory of one of 85 different faculty members. About half of the faculty hold primary appointments in basic science departments, and the other half hold primary appointments in clinical departments. Thus, there are opportunities to explore a wide range of possible topics in sensory, integrative, developmental and molecular neuroscience. Many students carry out their thesis research in institutes focused specifically on disorders of the brain or sensory systems (the Mental Health Research Institute, the Kresge Hearing Research Institute, the Kellogg Eye Center and the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center). Others carry out basic neuroscience research in the departments of Biology, Biological Chemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology, Human Genetics, Physiology, Pharmacology and Psychology. Among areas of particular expertise at the University of Michigan that are represented in these departments are cognitive neuroscience, axonal guidance and neuronal differentiation, synaptic function, movement disorders, neuronal signaling by kinases and phosphatases, and the neurobiology of drugs of abuse. The first two years of this program are designed to make sure that all graduates of the program are broadly trained. In the first year, students take an interdisciplinary, year-long course in the Principles of Neuroscience, two intensive laboratory courses, a course focused on the responsible conduct of research and carry out research rotations in at least two different laboratories. During the second year students take elective neuroscience courses, participate in an intensive neuroscience seminar course, complete their lab rotations and begin the initial work on the doctoral thesis.

描述（改编自申请人提供的摘要）：该计划 将提供广泛的，在神经科学的早期培训，以博士前 密歇根大学的学生。将支持8位博士。学生 跨部门神经科学计划在他们的头两年， 程序.一旦学生完成了这项赠款支持的初步培训， 他们在85个不同的实验室之一进行博士研究， 教职员工。大约一半的教师在基础教育中担任主要职务。 科学部门，另一半在临床上担任主要职务 部门因此，有机会探索各种可能的 在感觉，整合，发展和分子神经科学的主题。许多 学生在专门研究机构进行论文研究， 大脑或感觉系统的疾病（心理健康研究 研究所、克雷斯吉听力研究所、凯洛格眼科中心和 密歇根阿尔茨海默病研究中心（Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center）其他人进行基本的 生物学、生物化学、细胞生物学、 和发育生物学，人类遗传学，生理学，药理学和 心理学在密歇根大学的专业领域中， 在这些部门中有代表性的是认知神经科学， 引导和神经元分化，突触功能，运动障碍， 激酶和磷酸酶的神经信号传导，以及药物的神经生物学 虐待该计划的前两年旨在确保 该方案的所有毕业生都接受了广泛的培训。第一年，学生 参加跨学科的为期一年的神经科学原理课程， 两个强化实验室课程，一个课程侧重于负责任的行为 研究，并在至少两个不同的领域进行研究轮换。 laboratories.在第二年，学生选修神经科学 课程，参加密集的神经科学研讨会课程，完成 他们的实验室轮换和开始博士论文的初步工作。
