Sign up to present ASAP before the best time-slots are filled!
Contact Laurie Bialosky at
lbialosk@phhp.ufl.edu with three choices of dates and times, noting
preferences.
Presentations on research projects at any stage of completion are welcome although first priority is given to graduate students who are more advanced in their program of study. Talks should be self-contained. They should begin with a brief statement of the overall research objectives and why they are important, and should include methods, results and conclusions. They may include future directions, and ask for feedback on specific issues or on the research design.
Goals:
• To enhance interdisciplinary education related to basic and
translational aspects of the full scope of basic and clinical
behavioral and neurosciences.
• To facilitate interchange, understanding, and collaboration
among University of Florida laboratories investigating different aspects
of neuro-muscular plasticity.
Constituency:
We invite *ALL* students and faculty to participate, especially those involved
in the:
• Behavioral, and Cognitive and Sensory Neuroscience
programs in the College of Arts and Sciences
• Neuromuscular Rehabilitation and Plasticity program in the
College of Public Health and Health Professions
• Center for Exercise Science, College of Health and Human Performance
• Neuroengineering program in the College of Engineering
• Neuroscience program in the College of Medicine
• Rehabilitation Research Centers – BRRC and Brooks Center
• Neuroscientists and Respiratory Physiologists in the College of
Veterinary Medicine
• All members of the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Brain Institute
• Institute on Aging
• Powell Gene Therapy Center
• and all others interested in participating.
Administration:
• Neil Rowland (nrowland@ufl.edu 273-2128), Floyd Thompson, and David
Fuller are organizing the expanded NeuroNoons 2008. The expansion is a result
of the collaborative efforts “triggered” by the Neuromuscular
Plasticity in Rehabilitation pre-doctoral Training grant, which is supported
by the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Medical Rehabilitation
(NCMRR). Neuro Noons is sponsored by the Department of Physical Therapy,
the VA-Brain Rehab Research Ctr (BRRC) , and the Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
& Plasticity Training Grant (T32-HD04730.) For more information, contact
Laurie Bialosky, Department of Physical Therapy, lbialosk@phhp.ufl.edu or
