DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Continued support is requested for a training grant in neurobiology and behavior, which is about to enter its ninth year of funding. This grant supports students during their first two years in a degree-granting program, the Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia University, which provides integrated academic and research training leading to a Ph.D. degree in neuroscience. The nervous system is the most complex of all tissues, and understanding its biology has required the combined forces of several areas of modern science, including cell biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology, and psychology. The educational requirements of this field can be difficult to meet if constrained by long-established requirements of the traditional academic departments. Neuroscience faculty from throughout the university therefore joined together ten years ago to establish a university-wide, multidisciplinary training program to meet the educational needs of all predoctoral neuroscience students at the university. The 75 faculty members include many leaders in various areas of neuroscience, whose research interests span the range from molecules to cognition. This broadly based program provides coherent training via a unified admissions process, curriculum, and a comprehensive set of research opportunities. Trainees will have access to the facilities and resources of the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior and the Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Biological Sciences, Genetics and Development, Neurology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Psychiatry, and Physiology and Cellular Biophysics, Psychology, and Statistics. Major areas of strength in training expertise include both basic and translational areas of neuroscience, including: Stem Cell Biology, Cell Differentiation and Migration, Axon Pathfinding and Synaptogenesis, Biophysics/Ion Channels/Transporters, Synapses and Circuits, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Cognitive/Systems Neuroscience, Animal Models of Psychiatric Disorders, Neural Degeneration and Repair, Brain Imaging and Theoretical Neuroscience. There are currently a total of 69 students in the program. Support is requested for five students during the first two years of training (10 total/year), to rise to 12 (6x2) by the third year.

描述(由申请者提供)：要求继续支持神经生物学和行为学方面的培训资助，该资助即将进入第九个年头。这笔赠款支持哥伦比亚大学神经生物学和行为学博士学位授予项目的学生头两年的学习，该项目提供综合的学术和研究培训，最终获得神经科学博士学位。 神经系统是所有组织中最复杂的，要了解它的生物学需要现代科学的几个领域的联合作用，包括细胞生物学、生物化学、发育生物学、分子生物学、药理学、生理学和心理学。如果受到传统学术部门长期确立的要求的限制，这一领域的教育要求可能很难满足。因此，十年前，来自全校的神经科学教员联合起来，在全校范围内建立了一个多学科的培训计划，以满足大学所有神经科学博士前学生的教育需求。75名教职员工包括神经科学各个领域的许多领导者，他们的研究兴趣涵盖了从分子到认知的各个领域。这一基础广泛的课程通过统一的招生程序、课程和一系列全面的研究机会提供连贯的培训。学员将有机会接触到神经生物学和行为中心以及解剖学和细胞生物学、生物化学和分子生物物理学、生物科学、遗传学和发育、神经学、病理学、药理学、精神病学以及生理学和细胞生物物理学、心理学和统计学等系的设施和资源。培训专长的主要优势领域包括神经科学的基础和翻译领域，包括：干细胞生物学、细胞分化和迁移、轴突寻路和突触发生、生物物理学/离子通道/转运体、突触和回路、学习和记忆的神经生物学、认知/系统神经科学、精神疾病的动物模型、神经退化和修复、脑成像和理论神经科学。 目前该项目共有69名学生。在头两年的培训中，需要为5名学生提供支持(总共10名/年)，到第三年将增加到12名(6x2)。
