This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose renewal of our COBRE at NDSU. Our research focus is Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience. We describe four thematically interrelated primary projects directed by promising junior and senior investigators, which examine the neural mechanisms and functional significance of visual perception, visual attention, visual cognition and action. Our Specific Aims are: SPECIFIC AIM #1: To develop successful, independent, self-sustaining research projects for COBRE Project Directors to enable future success in obtaining R01 funding. This aim will be accomplished by obtaining COBRE support for thematically articulated research projects and by establishing an Administrative Core consisting of the PI/PD, a two-member Internal Advisory Committee, a three-member External Advisory Committee, as well as a group of five Project Mentors. SPECIFIC AIM #2: To enhance research infrastructure at NDSU through maintenance of multiuser Core laboratory facilities. The projects of the COBRE utilize state-of-the-art EEG neuroimaging to measure relationships between the structure and function of the nervous system and the behavior it governs. We will continue to enhance research infrastructure by supporting the Core laboratory for High-Density EEG, staffed by a full-time EEG laboratory technician and two full-time computer programmers. SPECIFIC AIM #3: To expand NDSU's research capability in visual and cognitive neuroscience by recruiting an additional faculty member with research expertise in translational neuroscience. We propose to recruit a visual or cognitive neuroscientist during the first year of the COBRE project. This new recruit will augment our critical mass of research talent that will sustain the Center beyond the initial years of COBRE support. This newly recruited faculty member will be eligible for CVCN support through a Pilot Project mechanism. SPECIFIC AIM #4: To establish a nationally recognized Center for Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience at NDSU. The realization of Specific Aims 1-3 will create a center of research excellence at NDSU which is guaranteed to attract additional quality faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students committed to cutting-edge research in visual and cognitive neuroscience. The NDSU Center for Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience will be competitive for Institutional Training Grants (T32), Research Project Grants (ROI), and Infrastructure Development Grants (R24) which will sustain the Center beyond the initial years of support. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Disordered perception, cognition, emotion, attention and executive function are hallmarks of debilitating and costly disease syndromes (ADHD, ARMD, agnosia, amblyopia, autism, depression, dementia, dyslexia, hemineglect, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, PTSD, and schizophrenia). Equally significant is the prevalence of such disorders in normal age-related sensory and cognitive decline. This COBRE is dedicated to the discovery of knowledge that illuminates and potentially ameliorates these conditions.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 描述（由申请人提供）：我们提议在NDSU续签我们的毛病。我们的研究重点是视觉和认知神经科学。我们描述了由有前途的初级和高级研究人员指导的四个主题相互关联的主要项目，这些项目研究了视觉感知，视觉注意力，视觉认知和动作的神经机制和功能意义。我们的具体目的是： 特定目的＃1：为COBRE项目主管开发成功，独立，自我维持的研究项目，以使未来获得R01资金的成功。该目标将通过获得主题表达的研究项目的毛cre支持，并建立由PI/PD组成的行政核心，PI/PD，两个成员的内部咨询委员会，由三名成员组成的外部咨询委员会以及五个项目导师组成的小组。 特定目标＃2：通过维护多源核心实验室设施来增强NDSU的研究基础设施。毛绒的项目利用最先进的脑电图神经影像来衡量神经系统的结构和功能之间的关系及其所控制的行为。我们将继续通过支持高密度脑电图的核心实验室来增强研究基础设施，该实验室由全职脑电图实验室技术员和两名全日制计算机程序员组成。 特定目的＃3：通过招募具有转化神经科学研究专业知识的额外教师，以扩大NDSU在视觉和认知神经科学方面的研究能力。我们建议在Cobre项目的第一年招募视觉或认知神经科学家。这项新的新兵将增加我们的重要研究人才，这些人才将在山洞支持的最初几年之外维持该中心。这位新招募的教职员工将有资格通过试点项目机制获得CVCN的支持。 特定目的4：在NDSU建立一个全国认可的视觉和认知神经科学中心。特定目标1-3的实现将在NDSU创造一个卓越的研究中心，该中心可以保证吸引更多优质的教师，博士后研究员和致力于视觉和认知神经科学领域的尖端研究的研究生。 NDSU视觉和认知神经科学中心将在机构培训补助金（T32），研究项目补助金（ROI）和基础设施发展补助金（R24）中具有竞争力，该拨款将超过最初的支持几年。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：失调，认知，情感，注意力和执行功能是衰弱和昂贵的疾病综合征的标志（ADHD，ARMD，ARMD，ARDOSIA，AMBLYOPIA，自闭症，抑郁症，抑郁症，痴呆，痴呆，痴呆症，痴呆症，次数障碍，次数障碍，半炎，多发性菌丝，多发性sclersis，帕金森病，PTSSD和Schizdia，Schizd和Schizdia和Schizd和Schizd和Schizd和Schizd和Schizdia）。同样重要的是这种疾病在正常年龄相关的感觉和认知下降中的患病率。这种毛线致力于发现阐明并有可能改善这些条件的知识。
