RESEARCH TRAINING IN NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY

该计划的总体目标是招募和培训合格的医学博士为神经内分泌学的学术和研究事业提供博士学位和研究生学位。培训教师包括临床和基础科学研究人员，他们在这个快速发展的跨学科领域的广泛主题中具有优势，并为学员提供在分子，细胞和系统水平上研究神经内分泌问题的机会。培训项目的研究人员目前在高血压的神经内分泌控制、生长代谢、生殖、节律运动行为、基因调控和发育方面有积极的研究项目。可提供给学员的具体项目包括下丘脑和周围垂体功能的调节，激素合成和分泌激素和神经递质受体，促分泌剂和抑制剂的临床评估，实验治疗方案，细胞内信号，细胞内和中枢反馈系统，神经发育和组织以及神经活动的电化学测量。

DESCRIPTION The overall goal of this program is to recruit and train board eligible M.D.'s and postgraduate Ph.D.'s for academic and research careers in neuroendocrinology. Training faculty include clinical and basic science investigators with strengths in a broad range of topics in this rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field, and who offer trainees the opportunity to study neuroendocrine problems at the molecular, cellular, and systems level. Training program investigators have currently active research program on the neuroendocrine control of hypertension, growth metabolism, reproduction, rhythmic motor behaviors, gene regulation, and development. Specific projects available to trainees include hypothalamic and peripheral regulation of pituitary function, hormone synthesis and secretion hormone and neurotransmitter receptors, clinical evaluation of secretogogue and inhibitors, experimental therapeutic protocols, intracellular signalling, intracellular and central feedback systems, neural development and organization and electrochemical measurements of neural activity.
