Abstract Advances in basic sciences related to cognition, motor control, and neuroplasticity offer exciting opportunities for treatment advances in neurorehabilitation. Maturation of promising discoveries to validated treatments faces the translational research challenges familiar to all biomedical domains, while also encountering some rehabilitation-specific obstacles. Research collaborators from Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute and Behavioral Neurology and the Center for Functional Neuroimaging at the University of Pennsylvania join forces to offer a post-doctoral research training program in Translational Neurorehabilitation Research, built on the platform of more than 15 years of multidisciplinary collaboration. The program will train 5 postdoctoral fellows at a time, recruited from basic science and clinical disciplines, using a mixture of didactic and hands-on training methods. Added this cycle are positions for 2 short-term summer training positions annually for medical students from underrepresented minorities. Program faculty collectively have expertise in 5 key themes that are critical to maturation of treatments from initial concept to validated treatment, including: Theories of normal and abnormal processing; Impairment assessment; Naturalistic assessment; Modulation of neuronal plasticity and learning mechanisms; and Theory-driven treatment trials, and are experienced in a range of cutting edge research tools, including structural and functional neuroimaging, eye- and motion-tracking, computational modeling, virtual reality, psychopharmacology, transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation. Moreover, several individual faculty and collaborative groups have demonstrated expertise in advancing assessments and treatments toward clinical implementation. Thus, trainees have the ability to learn specific tools and perspectives that are applicable to neurorehabilitation research, while benefiting from mentored exposure to the process of translating scientific advances into clinically useful assessments and treatments.

抽象的 与认知、运动控制和神经可塑性相关的基础科学的进展令人兴奋 神经康复治疗进步的机会。有希望的发现的成熟 经过验证的治疗方法面临着所有生物医学领域都熟悉的转化研究挑战，而 还遇到一些康复特定的障碍。莫斯康复中心的研究合作者 行为神经病学研究所和功能神经影像中心 宾夕法尼亚大学联手提供转化学博士后研究培训项目 神经康复研究，建立在超过 15 年的多学科平台之上 合作。该项目将一次性培养5名博士后，从基础科学和 临床学科，采用教学和实践培训方法的结合。添加此循环的是 每年为代表性不足的医学生提供 2 个短期暑期培训职位 少数民族。项目教师共同拥有 5 个关键主题的专业知识，这些主题对于项目的成熟至关重要 从最初的概念到经过验证的治疗，包括： 正常和异常理论 加工;减值评估；自然主义评估；神经元可塑性的调节和 学习机制；和理论驱动的治疗试验，并且在一系列前沿领域拥有丰富的经验 研究工具，包括结构和功能神经成像、眼睛和运动跟踪、计算 建模、虚拟现实、精神药理学、经颅磁刺激和经颅直接 电流刺激。此外，一些个别教师和合作小组已经证明 推进评估和治疗以实现临床实施的专业知识。因此，学员们有 学习适用于神经康复研究的特定工具和观点的能力，同时 受益于将科学进步转化为临床有用的过程的指导 评估和治疗。
