These programs provide comprehensive training in basic neuroscience, the physical and biological bases of neuroimaging, and
the application of in vivo neuroimaging techniques.
These programs train scientists to move results from basic studies into clinical research, and to appreciate how findings
in clinical research can inform and refine basic research.
Twelve institutions received grants to develop these courses in FY 05 and FY 06.
Each institution is required to disseminate course materials to the neuroscience community. For a list of course sites, plus
course directors and their contact information, please view our Neuro Disease Courses page.
Introduces students to the computational and mathematical techniques used to study brain function, from the level of single
ion channels to integrated neural circuits.
Covers topics in systems-level neuroscience, including the cellular basis of pattern generators, vocal learning and plasticity,
and sensory-motor integration.
A laboratory-oriented course in cellular and molecular neurobiology divided into three sections: Electrophysiology, Imaging,
and Molecular Neurobiology.
Introduces students to topics and techniques in neuroscience research, ethical issues, and survival skills such as grant writing
and public speaking. Students may spend another four weeks in a research lab at MBL.
Targeted to groups underrepresented in neuroscience research.
In past years, has covered gene transfer technologies such as viral vectors and BACs, gene expression analysis using microarrays
and the use of small interfering RNAs.
Everything you need to know about event-related potentials (ERPs) - the signals recorded from the brain during an electroencephalogram
(EEG) - from experimental design to data collection and analysis.
Advanced course intended for those who have attended earlier workshops and/or are already familiar with the principles of
univariate and simple multivariate analyses of sibling data.
Covers current topics in cognitive neuroscience, and offers a lab component on brain imaging and other neuroanatomical techniques.
The topic for 2007 is "Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics and Decision Making."
