Comprehensive Training in Neuroimaging Fundamentals and Applications

我们寻求国家卫生研究院的赞助，以支持我们在基础知识方面的创新和成功的项目， 由于神经成像的广泛应用，蒂亚特坚信未来的神经科学家很可能 需要在工作中掌握神经影像学方法和原则，以解决日益增长的 神经系统疾病，并进行研究，这将最好地促进我们对人类行为的理解 该应用程序包括我们的博士前学生的T-90和R-90组件。的 加州大学洛杉矶分校综合神经影像学培训计划（NITP）培训博士预科生的原则， 神经影像学是基本的-常见的大多数或所有的神经影像学-在认识到的快速变化 已经发生并将继续在成像技术。它们接触到的范围异常广泛 从细胞到全脑，从结构到动态，包括先进的多模态成像方法 显像NITP是对神经科学现有项目的补充和参与 和计算生物学已经在加州大学洛杉矶分校建立起来了。学生们受益于大型和 经验神经影像教师和课程新开发的这个程序。NITP已成为 不可或缺的研究生课程在多个部门，其核心课程的原则， 神经影像学是神经科学、计算、物理学和信号处理的桥梁和集成。 在NITP的基础上，我们开发了一个夏季短期课程，包括每年两周的课程 高级功能性神经成像这门课程带来了30到40名精心挑选的学者， 沉浸式的高级主题和方法，包括讲座式的课堂培训，日常计算机 实验室专注于计算工具和MRI物理学，以及成像项目的开发，运行和分析 学生参与者。

We seek sponsorship from thie NIH to support our innovative and successful program in thie fundamentals and applications of neuroimaging, tiiat is premised on the belief that neuroscientists of tomorrow are likely to require mastery of neuroimaging methods and principles in their work to address the growing burden of neurological disease and to perform the studies that will best advance our understanding of human behavior and cognition this applications includes both T-90 and R-90 components for our pre-doctoral students. The UCLA Comprehensive Neuroimaging Training Program (NITP) trains pre-doctoral students in principles of neuroimaging that are fundamental - common to most or all neuroimaging - in recognition of the rapid changes that have occurred and will continue in imaging technology. They are exposed to an unusually complete range of imaging approaches from cellular to whole brain, from structural to dynamic and inclusive of advanced mutiimodality imaging. The NITP is both complementary to, and participatory in, existing programs in neurosciences and computational biology already well established at UCLA. The students benefit from the large and experience neuroimaging faculty and from courses newly developed for this program. The NITP has become integral to the graduate programs in multiple departments where its core courses in the Principles of Neuroimaging serve to bridge and integrate neuroscience, computation, physics and signal processing. Rounding out the NITP we have developed a summer Short Course consisting of an annual two-week course in Advanced Functional Neuroimaging. This course brings in 30 to 40 carefully selected scholars for an immersive program in advanced topics and methods, including lecture style classroom training, daily computer labs focused on computational tools and MRI physics, and imaging projects developed, run and analyzed by the student participants.
