Neuroscience Training Program

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的长期神经科学培训计划(NTP)提供了 神经科学博士研究生培训。该计划的总体目标是培养下一代 领先的综合性神经学家，未来将在学术研究、教育、工业和公共领域就业 服务。学生与研究兴趣广泛的教职员工一起进行研究培训 现代神经科学。学生们接受广泛的神经科学领域的培训，包括行为学， 认知与情绪；发育、可塑性与修复；膜兴奋性与突触传递； 分子神经科学；神经回路；疾病神经生物学；感知和运动。我们的建议 培训计划包括实践研究工作、课程作业和我们独特的研讨会 当然了。实验设计、统计方法和量化技能方面的培训将纳入 课程作业和研讨会分组，将在整个学生培训过程中进行。参加培训的79名成员 教职员工来自校园内的23个系，带来了一系列的科学兴趣和最先进的技术 从分子遗传学到全脑成像，从方法学到学生培训。NTP的目标是 培养学生具备成为该领域领导者和取得成功所必需的知识广度 神经科学中对生物医学研究的贡献和进展。我们的项目在以下方面非常成功 实现其培训目标。在过去，完成博士学位的中位数时间是5.0年 10年来，94%的毕业生留在了与研究相关的职业生涯中。我们预计将任命12人 每年的实习生，其中一半是第一年的学生，另一半是第一年的学生 博士培训的第二年。受训人员的选择将主要基于先前的研究 取得的成就和显示出的独立研究事业的潜力。毕业生们会很好的 有能力进行旨在了解基本神经生物学过程和 神经系统疾病和紊乱的潜在机制，并帮助培训下一代 医生和科学家。

The long-standing Neuroscience Training Program (NTP) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison provides pre- doctoral graduate training in neuroscience. The overall goal of the program is to train the next generation of leading integrative neuroscientists for future careers in academic research, education, industry, and public service. Students engage in research training with faculty whose research interests span the breadth of modern neuroscience. Students receive training in a broad range of neuroscience areas, including behavior, cognition and emotion; development, plasticity and repair; membrane excitability and synaptic transmission; molecular neuroscience; neural circuits; neurobiology of disease; perception and movement. Our proposed training program includes a combination of hands-on research work, coursework, and our unique seminar course. Training in experimental design, statistical methodology and quantitative skills will be integrated into coursework and seminar subgroups, and will occur throughout student training. The 79 members of the training faculty draw from 23 departments across campus and bring an array of scientific interests and state of the art methodologies to student training, ranging from molecular genetics to whole brain imaging. The NTP's goal is to train students with intellectual breadth necessary for them to become leaders in the field and make contributions and advances to biomedical research in neuroscience. Our program has been very successful in achieving its training goals. The median time to complete the Ph.D. degree has been 5.0 years over the past 10 years, and 94% of our graduates have remained in research-related careers. We anticipate appointing 12 trainees per year, with half of those appointments made to students in their first year and half to students in the second year of Ph.D. training. Selection of trainees will be based principally upon prior research accomplishments and demonstrated potential for an independent research career. Graduates will be well equipped to carry out research aimed at understanding fundamental neurobiological processes and mechanisms underlying diseases and disorders of the nervous system, and to help train the next generation of physicians and scientists.
