Undergraduate Neurosciences Summer Research Program in Mechanisms of Behavior

杜克大学的本科神经科学项目将为本科生提供在主要研究型大学从事神经科学研究的机会。将围绕“行为机制”这一主题组织研究和培训经验。强调综合系统和行为神经科学，将杜克大学跨学科领域的教师研究兴趣统一起来，这是该项目学生参与的个人项目的共同主题。每个学生为期10周的暑期项目的重点将是与一名参与的教员进行研究指导。两周的研讨会系列——“神经科学研究”和“科学基础”——将包括在夏季的时间表中。“神经科学研究”将专注于正在进行的教师研究，以便该计划的学生在导师的特定兴趣之外获得神经科学研究领域的接触。“科学基础”将讨论与科学事业有关的实际问题。暑期课程将以为期两天的熟悉活动开始，并以一个研究论坛结束，学生们将在论坛上正式介绍他们的研究项目。“行为机制”课程将接受大二本科生的申请。该项目对接受女性和少数族裔以及文理学院本科生的申请特别感兴趣。

DBI-9732149 Abstract The Undergraduate Neurosciences Program at Duke University will give undergraduates the opportunity to become involved in neuroscience research at a major research university. Research and training experiences will be organized around the theme of "Mechanisms of Behavior." The emphasis on integrative systems and behavioral neuroscience that unifies faculty research interests within this interdisciplinary field at Duke serves as the common theme for the individual projects available to student participants in the program. The focus of the 10-week summer program for each student will be a research mentorship with a participating faculty member. Two weekly seminar series - "Research in the Neurosciences" and "Science Basics"- will be included in the summer schedule. "Research in the Neurosciences" will focus on ongoing faculty research so that students in the program gain exposure to the field of neuroscience research beyond their mentor's specific interests. "Science Basics" will address practical matters pertaining to science careers. The summer program will begin with a two-day familiarization retreat and will close with a research forum during which students will make formal presentations of their research projects. Applications to participate in "Mechanisms in Behavior" will be accepted from sophomore undergraduates. The Program is especially interested in receiving applications from women and minorities as well as undergraduates at liberal-arts colleges.
