The Phone: 314-747-3530 emphasis is on the organization and function of the nervous Computational and cognitive issues in cortical control of eye and system in health, but there is frequent reference to the clinical relevance of the material presented. The course includes regular arm movement investigated via electrophysiology and imaging lectures, conference sessions, and laboratories (including a team based learning session), plus a number of clinically oriented presentations and special topics sessions that address selected Paul H. Taghert, PhD issues in greater depth. Computer-aided instructional programs, McDonnell Medical Sciences Building, 9th Floor which are accessible from a variety of locations, provide auxiliary Phone: 314-362-3641 modes of self-paced learning and review. Exams emphasize the core body of important facts and principles presented in the Neurobiology of circadian rhythms; neurobiology of peptidergic lectures and laboratories.

Throughout the course of the semester, each student will develop a research plan in their chosen area of interest. The Jason Yi, PhD plan will be developed in consultation with at least two faculty McDonnell Medical Sciences Building, 8th Floor members (from at least two different subdisciplines within the Phone: 314-273-1664 pathway) as well as the other students and faculty participating in the course. The culmination of this course will be for each Molecular pathways shaping nervous system development and student to produce an NIH-style grant proposal on the research function project of their choosing. For most students, this will serve either as their thesis proposal or a solid precursor to the thesis proposal. The course will be designed to help facilitate the development of such a research plan through didactic work, class presentations, class discussion, and constructive feedback on written work. The course will begin with a review of written

examples of outstanding research proposals, primarily in the form of grant submissions similar to those that the students are expected to develop (i.e., NRSA style proposals, R03 proposals). Review of these proposals will serve as a stimulus to promote discussion about the critical elements of good research proposals and designs in different areas. Each student will be expected to give three presentations throughout the semester that will provide opportunities to receive constructive feedback on the development and implementation of research aims. The first presentation (towards the beginning of the semester) will involve presentation of the student's general topic of interest and preliminary formulation of research questions. Feedback will emphasize ways to focus and develop the research hypotheses into well-formulated questions and experiments. The second presentation will involve a more detailed presentation of specific research questions (along the lines of NIH-style Specific Aims) and an initial outline of research methods. The final presentation will involve a fuller presentation of research questions and proposed methods. Feedback, didactic work, and group discussion throughout the semester will include guidance on critical components of the development of a research plan, including how to perform literature searches, formulate testable hypotheses, write critical literature summaries, and design experiments and analyses. The course will meet once a week, with faculty members from different tracks within the Pathway present at each meeting. This will allow students to receive feedback from several perspectives. Prerequisite: Member of CCSN Pathway, permission of instructor. Credit 3 units.
