请参阅说明)： 拟议的神经科学培训计划将为未来的博士生提供令人兴奋的 由国内和国际公认的教师教授的课程，以及 建立在翻译神经科学、基础神经生物学、精神病学和神经学方面的专业知识，所有这些都是独一无二的 由于临床和基础神经科学研究在山上的紧密结合，相互之间相互连接 西奈医院和西奈山医学院。训练计划的核心是西奈山 神经科学博士，该学院的第二个博士授予项目(生物医学是第一个)， 由纽约大学研究生院认可，并于2007年获得纽约州立大学的批准。参训教员 共同的主题兴趣：研究特定神经回路的功能和可塑性，在 在成人，以及在老年、患病或退化的神经系统中的发育。多样化的实验室 西奈山医学院的机会利用翻译方面的特殊优势 神经科学，特别是在发育神经生物学，神经衰老和变性，机制 神经精神疾病，认知神经科学，计算神经科学和神经成像，感觉 信号转导、神经内分泌学、突触和行为可塑性。神经系统是 在不同的模型系统中进行了研究，从海螺海螺、果蝇或其他简单的无脊椎动物 线虫，一直到包括非人灵长类和人类在内的复杂脊椎动物。学生 将在基础神经生物学方面获得坚实的基础，在一个积极促进 多学科、综合性研究。使用这种跨学科的方法，神经科学培训 该计划将为四名学生提供必要的知识和实验工具，以启动生产性、 在我们培训教师的实验室里独立工作。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 据估计，有400万美国人患有阿尔茨海默病和其他神经退行性疾病 包括帕金森氏症和神经精神病学疾病，这些疾病累积起来代表着令人难以置信的 公共卫生负担。拟议的神经科学培训计划将培养有才华的年轻科学家， 为神经科学研究和教学领域富有成效的独立职业提供坚实的基础。

See instructions): The proposed Neuroscience Training Program will offer prospective predoctoral students an exciting curriculum taught by a nationally and internationally recognized faculty, and a laboratory experience that builds on expertise in translational neuroscience, basic neurobiology, psychiatry and neurology, all uniquely 'interfaced' with one another due to close apposition of clinical and basic neuroscience research at the Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. At the heart of the Training Program is Mount Sinai's Neuroscience Ph.D., the school's second Ph.D. granting program (Biomedical Sciences being the first), that was endorsed by the NYU Graduate School and approved by NY State in 2007. Participatingtrainingfaculty share a common thematic interest: study of the function and plasticity of specific neural circuits,during development, in the adult, and in the aged, diseased or degenerating nervous system. Varied laboratory opportunities at Mount Sinai School of Medicine take advantage of particular strengths in translational neuroscience, notably in developmental neurobiology, neural aging and degeneration, mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disease, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience and neuroimaging, sensory signal transduction, neuroendocrinology and synaptic and behavioral plasticity. The nervous system is studied in diverse model systems, from 'simple' invertebrates such as the sea snail Aplysia, the fruit fly, or the worm C. elegans, all the way to complex vertebrates including nonhuman primates and humans. Students will receive a solid foundation in basic neurobiology, in a collaborative environment that actively promotes multidisciplinary, integrative research. Using this interdisciplinary approach, the Neuroscience Training Program will provide four students with the essential knowledge and experimental tools to initiate productive, independent careers in the laboratories of our training faculty. RELEVANCE (See instructions): An estimated four million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative conditions including Parkinson's disease, and neuropsychiatricdisease, which cumulatively represent an incredible public health burden. The proposed Neuroscience Training Program will educate talented young scientists, providing a firm foundation for productive, independent careers in neuroscience research and teaching.
