Objective
NovoBrain will provide PhD fellows with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research training programme in basic, cognitive and clinical neuroscience. The programme particularly focuses on ¨the mechanisms underlying cognition, learning, and memory formation¨ in the mammalian brain. A key goal of NovoBrain will be to give PhD fellows the opportunity to conduct high level research in a nurturing educational environment that equips them to work in a multidisciplinary manner in the neuroscience field. A fast-track international PhD in Neuroscience (completed within 3 years) together with additional training in management and complementary skills is aimed to produce a new generation of neuroscientists that can compete at the highest level, both professionally and internationally. Key neuroscience centres have been brought together, so that the NovoBrain programme can offer the best possible complement of skills, experimental and educational training.
Through the expertise of our participating scientists, fellows will be exposed to all aspects of cognitive, learning, and memory neuroscience ranging from developmental aspects, through systems, cognitive, clinical and computational neuroscience. Methodological training will extend through the entire spectrum of state of the art methods such as cognitive and systems analysis of multiple animal models (rodents, cats, primates, and pigeons), electrophysiology in humans and lower mammals, brain imaging (MRI, PET, TMS, mapping systems) and neuroinformatics. A unique and novel environment for the education of neuroscientists in the early stages of their career has been established through which we anticipate significant contributions to our understanding of cognition, learning and memory mechanisms, and the creation of an effective magnet to draw talented neuroscientists to Europe to work in this field.
