MRes systems neuroscience

本硕士课程的目的是培养新一代系统神经科学家，他们可以将计算和数学方法应用于体内实验的设计及其解释。新方案将在一个需要采取紧急行动以弥补学术界和制药业确定的关键技能短缺的领域进行能力建设（更多详情见A1支助案例）。该计划旨在培养高质量的生命科学毕业生，他们对学术界或工业界的神经科学事业感兴趣。该课程将培养毕业生的知识，技能和信心，为本科和高级研究生学习之间提供桥梁，并将提供理论和实践技能的独特组合。该课程有以下主要目标：生产高素质的MRes系统神经科学毕业生精通技术先进的体内动物实验，谁配备了数学和计算知识和技能。该方案将提供：（一）针对具体学科的综合教学方案（神经科学和计算神经科学基础）;实用（整体动物体内训练;实验设计和统计）和一般研究技能;（ii）一个综合性的活体神经科学研究项目，从广泛的选择中选出，从疼痛和压力的神经基础到认知和行为的神经网络研究，国际认可实验室的临床和转化科学家;（iii）在减少，改进和替代（3R），动物福利和研究伦理方面进行深入培训。欲了解更多详情，请参阅布里斯托大学课程规格，单元形式和时间表（支持A3和A6的情况）。方案概要：一年全日制MRes（共180学分）第一阶段：概念和技术（18周，必修）：单元1：神经科学基础（15学分）单元2：体内研究的概念和技术（15学分）单元3：高级研究技能（15学分）单元4：计算神经科学（15学分）第二阶段：研究项目（29周，必修）：单元5：单个广泛的体内实验研究项目（120学分）可选单位灵活性包括从广泛的选择中选择正式的研讨会，这些研讨会在整个学年中发生，并涵盖感兴趣的专业领域。这些研讨会是我们现有的本科最后一年神经科学理学学士课程和分子神经科学理学硕士课程的一部分，在大多数情况下，由该课程的指定主管提供。这些研讨会将学生带到当前知识的极限，为他们的研究项目提供必要的特定主题背景。

The aim of this Masters course is to train a new generation of systems neuroscientists who can apply computational and mathematical methods into the design of in vivo experiments and their interpretation. The new programme will build capacity in an area where urgent action is needed to remedy a critical skills shortage identified by both academia and the pharmaceutical industry (see case for support A1 for further details). The programme is aimed at good quality Life Science graduates who are interested in a career in neuroscience in academia or industry. The course will develop the knowledge, skills and confidence of graduates to provide a bridge between undergraduate and advanced postgraduate study, and will offer a unique combination of theoretical and practical skills. The course has the following key objective: To produce high calibre MRes Systems Neuroscience graduates proficient in technologically advanced in vivo animal experimentation, who are equipped with mathematical and computational knowledge and skills. The programme will deliver: (i) A comprehensive teaching programme in subject-specific (foundations of neuroscience and computational neuroscience); practical (whole animal in vivo training; experimental design and statistics) and generic research skills; (ii) A comprehensive in vivo neuroscience research project selected from a wide choice - ranging from the neural basis of pain and stress to the study of neural networks underlying cognition and behaviour- with basic, clinical and translational scientists in internationally recognised labs; (iii) And, an in-depth training in Reduction, Refinement and Replacement (3Rs), animal welfare and research ethics. For further details see the University of Bristol Programme Specification, Unit forms and timetable (case for support A3 and A6). Programme outline: One year full time MRes (total 180 credit points) Stage 1: Concepts and techniques (18 weeks, compulsory): Unit 1: Foundations of neuroscience (15 credit points) Unit 2: Concepts and techniques for in vivo research (15 credit points) Unit 3: Advanced research skills (15 credit points) Unit 4: Computational neuroscience (15 credit points) Stage 2: Research project (29 weeks, compulsory): Unit 5: Single extensive in vivo experimental research project (120 credit points) Optional units Flexibility includes selection of formal seminars, from a wide choice, that occur throughout the academic year and cover specialist fields of interest. These seminars form part of our existing undergraduate final year Neuroscience BSc programme and the MSc Molecular Neuroscience programme, and in most cases are given by the named supervisors in this programme. These seminars will take students to the limits of current knowledge, providing essential subject-specific background for their research project.
