NEUROGENETICS AND BEHAVIOR CENTER:ADMINISTRATION

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。描述(由申请者提供)：由该奖项支持的神经遗传学和行为中心将为NIH支持的研究项目建立一个独特的资源，该项目使用基因靶向技术来研究大脑的基本功能以及与精神和神经疾病相关的疾病。该中心通过其行政、动物测试设施和数据管理功能，将在三个广泛的功能领域提供行为评估：感觉运动、情感过程和认知，后者包括学习、记忆和注意力。这些领域的表型分析将为申请中列出的33个研究人员/研究小组提供即时服务，这些小组位于马里兰州的JHU和肯尼迪·克里格研究所以及其他地点(麻省理工学院、布朗大学和田纳西老鼠基因组联盟等)。除了提供标准行为测试和数据分析的设施外，该中心的调查人员是国际公认的行为神经学家，他们将合作开发适合用户研究目标的创新评估。这些合作不仅将提高目前由美国国立卫生研究院资助的研究项目的投资质量，还将通过传播S中心的活动，为神经遗传学领域做出重大贡献。该中心还将为培训年轻科学家提供广泛的专业知识，以完成与动物模型的综合研究，从基因组、分子和细胞水平的分析到行为系统和功能障碍的研究。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Neurogenetics and Behavior Center, supported under this award, would establish a unique resource for NIH supported research programs using gene targeting technology to study basic functions of the brain and disorders relevant to psychiatric and neurological disease. The Center, through its Administrative, Animal Testing Facility, and Data Management functions will provide behavioral assessments in three broad functional domains: sensorimotor, affective processes, and cognition, the latter to include learning, memory, and attention. Phenotypic analysis in these domains will provide an immediate service to 33 investigators/research groups listed in the application, located in Maryland at JHU and the Kennedy Krieger Institute and at other sites (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown University, and the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium, among others). In addition to providing a facility for standard behavioral testing and data analysis, investigators in the Center, who are internationally recognized behavioral neuroscientists, will work collaboratively to develop innovative assessments appropriate to the research goals of the users. These collaborations will not only enhance the quality of current investments in research programs funded by the NIH but will make a significant contribution to the field of neurogenetics through dissemination of the Center''s activities. The Center will also provide a resource for training young scientists in the wide range of expertise needed to accomplish integrative research with animal models, bridging from genomic, molecular, and cellular levels of analysis to the study of behavioral systems and functional disord
