项目摘要

SUMMARY The mission of the Rodent Behavioral core (RBC) is to provide planning, execution, and analysis of behavioral experiments relevant to neurological diseases and stroke using mice and rats. The RBC strives to provide the Emory research community ready access to high quality rodent behavioral methodologies and associated resources. Like other ENNCF cores, the RBC was seeded with institutional support (the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease, Department of Human Genetics, the Emory University Neuroscience Initiative, and the School of Medicine), to meet the growing needs of neuroscience investigators with services that had not been available otherwise. With NINDS funded investigators comprising a very high percentage of RBC users (14 out of 25 PIs), and well-matched goals with those of the ENNCF, it was decided to add the RBC to this P30 application. Addition of the RBC to the ENNCF will provide Emory NINDS investigators with preferred and subsidized access to the multiple rodent behavioral assays and surgical services offered by the RBC. Because no individual NINDS-funded laboratory has the array of behavioral tasks, expertise, and equipment offered by the RBC, this access will be vital to the success of their research programs. The inclusion of the RBC will put a full range of behavioral services at the fingertips of these investigators at a fraction of the cost it would take to acquire the equipment and trained personnel to conduct rodent behavioral research. The primary objectives of the RBC are to provide: (1) access to state-of-the-art rodent behavioral testing equipment and emerging technologies, (2) expertise and guidance in the planning, execution, and analysis of rodent behavioral research experiments, and (3) an outstanding research environment that provides infrastructure, education and resources to foster collaborations between investigators and cores. These objectives implemented by the RBC have proven to stimulate multidisciplinary research and innovation in basic and translational neuroscience.

概括啮齿动物行为核心（RBC）的任务是提供计划，执行和分析使用小鼠和大鼠进行的与神经系统疾病和中风有关的行为实验。 RBC努力为Emory研究社区提供准备使用高质量的啮齿动物行为方法和相关资源。像其他ENNCF核心一样，RBC也得到了机构支持（中心神经退行性疾病，人类遗传学系，埃默里大学神经科学倡议，和医学院），以满足神经科学调查人员不断增长的服务的需求否则没有。 Ninds资助的调查人员包括很高的RBC 用户（25个PI中的14个）以及与ENNCF的目标相匹配的目标，决定将RBC添加到此P30应用程序。在ENNCF中添加RBC将为Emory Ninds研究人员提供首选和补贴访问加拿大皇家银行提供的多种啮齿动物行为分析和手术服务。因为没有个人Ninds资助的实验室拥有一系列行为任务，专业知识和设备加拿大皇家银行，此访问对于他们的研究计划的成功至关重要。加拿大皇家银行的包括这些调查人员的指尖行为服务的范围是一小部分费用获取设备和受过训练的人员进行啮齿动物行为研究。 RBC的主要目标是提供：（1）访问最新的啮齿动物行为测试设备和新兴技术，（2）计划，执行和分析的专业知识和指导啮齿动物行为研究实验，以及（3）提供的杰出研究环境基础设施，教育和资源，以促进调查人员与核心之间的合作。这些 RBC实施的目标已被证明是刺激基本的多学科研究和创新和翻译神经科学。
