Project Abstract: Eighteen neuroscientists within Harvard's Program in Neuroscience request continued funding for four predoctoral positions in the Training Program in Visual Neuroscience. Training focuses on the study of visual pathways from retina to brain, and of the cellular, molecular and developmental neurobiology of the visual system. These faculty members are distributed throughout the university. Nine faculty members are in basic science departments at the Medical School, six are in hospital-based laboratories, and three are in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Over the past two decades, Harvard University has greatly expanded the number of faculty members who study the molecular, developmental, and neural-systems approaches to visual science. Students can choose laboratories from among a large community of vision researchers, most of whom are affiliated with Harvard's NEI Core Grant in Vision research. The goal of the Visual Neuroscience Training Program is to build a large, coherent group of students based in this Harvard-wide vision community, who are trained by its faculty and who have a strong sense of community. The grant will support two students in their second year and two in their third, but students remain actively involved with the program as they advance to later years, creating a large cohort of affiliated students. We train and supervise these students with courses, thesis committees, seminars, symposia, and our “Systems-Vision” journal club. Thus trainees interact with the faculty and with each other throughout their graduate careers. Many vision scientists visit Harvard every year to give seminars; trainees at all levels interact with them over lunch and in lab visits. Through these activities, we will help train a new generation of vision scientists whose scientific careers will help us understand all aspects of the visual system: development, information processing, and disease.

项目摘要： 哈佛神经科学项目中的18位神经科学家要求继续资助4位神经科学家。 在视觉神经科学培训计划的博士前职位。培训的重点是学习视觉 从视网膜到大脑的通路，以及视觉系统的细胞，分子和发育神经生物学 系统这些教师分布在整个大学。9名教师基本 科学部门在医学院，六个是在医院为基础的实验室，三个是在学院 艺术和科学 在过去的二十年里，哈佛大学大大增加了教师的数量， 研究视觉科学的分子，发育和神经系统方法。学生可以选择 实验室从一个庞大的视觉研究人员社区，其中大多数是附属于哈佛的 NEI核心补助金在视觉研究。视觉神经科学培训计划的目标是建立一个大型的， 一群连贯的学生，他们在哈佛大学的视野社区中，由教师培训， 他们有很强的社区意识。 该补助金将支持两名学生在他们的第二年和两名在他们的第三年， 参与该计划，因为他们提前到晚年，创造了一个附属学生的大队列。我们训练 并监督这些学生的课程，论文委员会，研讨会，座谈会，和我们的“系统愿景” 日记俱乐部。因此，学员与教师互动，并在整个研究生生涯中相互交流。 许多视觉科学家每年都会访问哈佛举办研讨会;各级学员都与他们互动， 午餐和实验室访问。通过这些活动，我们将帮助培养新一代视觉科学家， 科学生涯将帮助我们了解视觉系统的各个方面：发展，信息 加工和疾病。
