项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this research is to enable the development of novel interdisciplinary training programs that integrate two components 1) an NRSA predoctoral training program and 2) a Short-Term Research Education Program, which will include a non-NRSA predoctoral training program. There have been great advances in in vivo imaging techniques, which allow neuroscientists to visualize molecular, cellular, and system physiology and functions. To fully utilize neuroimaging techniques, it is important to understand underlying principles, data detection, and data modeling and visualization. Furthermore, each technique has its own strengths and limitations. In order to overcome the weakness of one neuroimaging modality, it is absolutely essential to utilize complementary imaging modalities. Often, researchers may not utilize advanced neuroimaging technologies due to the lack of proper training in these methodologies, therefore, it is crucial to train students the principles and limitations of multiple neuroimaging modalities. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to create the Multimodal Neuroimaging Training Program (T90/R90) for predoctoral and short-term summer students, which will be jointly run by the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. This program will be administered by the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC), which seamlessly spans both institutes and is a coordinated interdisciplinary research and educational Center of international stature. Specific aims of the predoctoral training program are to 1) teach basic neuroscience for integrative neuroimaging research; 2) to teach underlying principles, modeling, and applications of structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, positron emission tomography, magnetoencephalography, and optical imaging from animals to humans; and 3) to integrate multiple methods and carry out multimodal neuroimaging projects. To achieve the specific aims, trainees will take core courses and laboratory rotations, seminars and participate in an annual retreat. In addition to the graduate T90/R90 training program, the short-term Multimodal Neuroimaging Summer School (R90) is proposed to teach the synergy of multi-modal neuroimaging for targeted students and investigators who have experience in one imaging modality and want to expand their training to other modalities. The summer program will consist of basic lectures, hand-on laboratory workshop, and performing projects, emphasizing the methodologies of multiple imaging modalities. Our proposed program will train researchers for adequate handling of the increasing complexity of combining multimodal neuroimaging data with the knowledge of various data acquisition and processing approaches, and appropriate interpretations. This will speed up the synergetic application of multiple imaging modalities to basic and clinical neuroscience research in animals and humans. All training faculty have an exceptional track record of effective interdisciplinary training and cooperative research. The materials developed in this Training Program will be distributed through the web.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究的目的是实现新的跨学科培训计划的开发，该计划整合了两个组成部分1）NRSA培训前培训计划和2）2）短期研究教育计划，其中包括非NRSA祖前培训计划。体内成像技术取得了巨大进步，这使神经科学家能够可视化分子，细胞和系统生理学和功能。为了充分利用神经成像技术，了解基本原理，数据检测以及数据建模和可视化非常重要。此外，每种技术都有自己的优势和局限性。为了克服一种神经影像模式的弱点，使用互补的成像方式绝对必要。通常，由于缺乏适当的培训，研究人员可能不会利用先进的神经影像学技术，因此，培训学生多种神经影像学方式的原理和局限性至关重要。为了实现这一目标，我们建议为匹兹堡大学和卡内基·梅隆大学共同主持多模式神经影像学培训计划（T90/R90），该计划将共同主持。该计划将由认知神经基础中心（CNBC）管理，该中心无缝跨越机构，并且是协调的跨学科研究和国际地位教育中心。术前培训计划的具体目的是1）教授基本的神经科学进行整合神经影像学研究； 2）教授结构磁共振成像（MRI），功能性MRI，正电子发射断层扫描，磁性镜像以及从动物到人类的光学成像的基本原理，建模和应用； 3）整合多种方法并执行多模式神经影像学项目。为了实现特定目标，学员将参加核心课程和实验室轮换，研讨会并参加年度务虚会。除了研究生T90/R90培训计划外，还提出了短期多模式神经影像学（R90）来教授具有多模式神经影像学的协同作用，以供有针对性的学生和研究人员，他们在一种成像模式中具有经验并希望对其他模态进行培训。夏季计划将包括基本的讲座，手工实验室研讨会和执行项目，强调多种成像方式的方法论。我们提出的计划将培训研究人员，以充分处理将多模式神经影像数据与各种数据获取和处理方法的了解以及适当的解释相结合的复杂性。这将加快在动物和人类中基本和临床神经科学研究中多种成像方式的协同应用。所有培训教师均具有有效的跨学科培训和合作研究的卓越记录。该培训计划中开发的材料将通过网络分发。
