DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funds for a pre-doctoral training program in disease oriented basic neuroscience with an emphasis on aging and age-related neurological disorders. We are requesting support for five pre-doctoral trainees. The program is designed to offer PhD students rigorous and specialized training in the neurobiology of aging and age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and stroke. The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at Rush University Medical Center is one of the few programs in the country that offers training in disease oriented basic neuroscience; it is housed in the Department of Neurological Sciences, a department where a large number of basic scientists and clinicians work very closely together on translational research. Preceptors for the proposed pre-doctoral training program include 11 basic scientists with well funded research programs and a long-standing commitment to aging research; their expertise ranges all the way from molecular and structural biology to electrophysiology, imaging and behavior. Additional teaching faculty include other basic scientists and clinicians in the Department of Neurological Sciences, as well as members of other divisions within the Graduate College of Rush University Medical Center.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求用于针对疾病的基本神经科学的博士前培训计划，重点是衰老和与年龄有关的神经系统疾病。我们要求支持五位博士后学员。该计划旨在为博士生在衰老和与年龄有关的神经退行性疾病的神经生物学方面进行严格而专业的培训，例如阿尔茨海默氏病，帕金森氏病，亨廷顿氏病和中风。拉什大学医学中心神经科学的研究生课程是该国为疾病培训培训的少数计划之一；它位于神经科学系，该部门在该部门，大量基础科学家和临床医生在转化研究上非常紧密地合作。拟议的博士前培训计划的主持人包括11位具有良好资助的研究计划的基础科学家，以及对衰老研究的长期承诺；它们的专业知识范围从分子和结构生物学到电生理学，成像和行为。其他教师包括神经科学系的其他基本科学家和临床医生，以及拉什大学医学中心研究生学院其他部门的成员。
