Neurobiology of Tetrachromatic Vision and Behavioral Responses in Zebrafish and Medaka
| Description |
|---|
This grant funded program allows students to engage in scientific collaborations at top biology institues in Japan. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF Project #2505377), this summer program will provide students with invaluable research and intercultural experiences while working with an international team of biologists to perform advanced neurobiology research on how visual information is processed to drive behavioral responses. The program consists of full-time research in a Japanese laboratory, mentored by a faculty member from a top Japanese institute. This competitive fellowship is open to Montclair State University and non-Montclair State University advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in neurobiology.
