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.

DBI-9732149摘要杜克大学的本科神经科学计划将使本科生有机会参与一所主要研究的研究。研究和培训经验将以“行为机制”为主题组织。 强调杜克这个跨学科领域的教师研究兴趣的综合系统和行为神经科学，这是该计划中学生参与者可用的单个项目的共同主题。 每个学生为期10周的夏季计划的重点将是与会成员的研究指导。夏季时间表将包括两个每周一次的研讨会系列 - “神经科学研究”和“科学基础”。 “神经科学的研究”将集中于正在进行的教师研究，以使该计划的学生超越了导师的特定利益，从而获得了神经科学研究领域的影响。 “科学基础知识”将解决与科学职业有关的实际问题。夏季计划将从为期两天的熟悉度假胜地开始，并将结束一个研究论坛，在此论坛上，学生将对他们的研究项目进行正式演讲。 参加“行为机制”的申请将从大二本科生接受。该计划特别有兴趣从妇女和少数民族的申请以及自由派学院的本科生。
