DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary This proposal aims to renew funding for a pre- and post-doctoral training program in NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS. The overall goal of this program is to train a cadre of outstanding researchers who will have: 1) an in-depth understanding of the principles that underlie the function of NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS in a broad range of nervous system function, and; 2) extensive research training in modern experimental approaches to analyzing NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS. Our program prepares trainees to conduct contemporary neuroscience research that bridges the gaps in understanding between synapses, single neurons, NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS and behavior. The program enhances basic pre- and postdoctoral training with an advanced NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS graduate course, a monthly journal club, and an annual DYNAMICS OF NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS symposium. In our inaugural funding period we have established a vigorous training program where new techniques, findings, and ideas are freely exchanged among the faculty, postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral students that fosters interaction and collaboration. Our success to date in achieving our ambitious training goals results from an outstanding pool of applicants and the strength of the interactive program faculty in a broad range of areas relevant to NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS. An outstanding research environment and excellent facilities are available at UCLA, with 24 faculty with highly active research programs with state of the art laboratories funded by significant extramural support. A broad range of core facilities are available that offer assistance, such as in molecular biology including in the making of viruses and of transgenic mice and advanced optics. This training program provides unique research training in NEURAL MICROCIRCUITS, which is fundamental for an understanding of the function and behavior of the CNS and for the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of pathological changes in the CNS. !

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要本提案旨在为神经微电路的前后博士后培训计划续签资金。该计划的总体目标是培训一群杰出的研究人员的干部，他们将拥有：1）对神经微电路功能的原理有深入的理解，这些原则在广泛的神经系统功能中，以及； 2）现代实验方法的广泛研究培训，用于分析神经微电路。我们的计划使受训者准备进行当代神经科学研究，以弥合突触，单个神经元，神经微电路和行为之间的理解差距。该计划通过先进的神经微电路研究生课程，每月期刊俱乐部和神经微电路研讨会的年度动态来增强基本的前和博士后培训。在我们的首届资助期间，我们建立了一项激烈的培训计划，在该计划中，新技术，发现和想法在教师，博士后研究员和促进互动和协作的教师之间自由交流。我们迄今为止取得了雄心勃勃的培训目标，这是由出色的申请人库以及与神经微电路相关的广泛领域的互动计划教师的实力所产生的。 UCLA提供了出色的研究环境和出色的设施，拥有24位教职员工，具有高度活跃的研究计划，由最先进的实验室提供，并由大量的壁外支持资助。提供了广泛的核心设施，可提供援助，例如在分子生物学中，包括在病毒和转基因小鼠和高级光学方面。该培训计划提供了神经微电路的独特研究培训，这对于理解中枢神经系统的功能和行为以及为治疗中枢神经系统病理变化的治疗策略的发展而言至关重要。呢
