What is nuin

The goal of this project is to quantify the sensory signals that guide motor control using the whisker system in the anesthetized rat where we can fully quantify the kinematics of sensory signals and the mechanics of the sensor. Therefore, we propose to investigate the integrative properties of these neurons to further our understanding of their role in encoding spatial information.

Add to Calendar. Follow NUIN on. World-class neuroscience training and research. PhD Program Our research-oriented PhD program offers students from diverse backgrounds and majors a rigorous training in the field of neuroscience.

Postbaccalaureate Program NU PREP is a one-year program of enhanced research training, academic support and mentoring for recent postbaccalaureate students planning to apply to PhD programs in biomedical research. We are interested in the neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognition, both at the local circuit level and in terms of large-scale interactions between different brain areas.

In particular, the lab seeks to understand how different areas of the brain interact flexibly to support the many different computations that underlie different types of decision making. Two specific lines of inquiry are on how neuromodulators help coordinate the activity of different cortical areas with changing computational demands, and on identifying the behavioral features that explain why brain activity looks the way it does during different tasks.

To do so, the lab uses a combination of high-throughput virtual-reality behavior in mice, large-scale optical recording and perturbation techniques, genetic tools for circuit mapping, and computational modeling. View all faculty profiles. Our lab studies the role of light in behavior by linking the cellular function of cells within the retina to their downstream circuits in the brain and output behavior.

To do this, we examine the role of RGC subtypes in specific visual functions. For example, the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells ipRGCs , which express the photopigment melanopsin, comprise five subtypes that drive a wide range of behaviors from circadian photoentrainment to contrast sensitivity for vision.

But yes, answering yes would increase your chances of being offered NU. The England location will be located at the New College for the Humanities, which is now part of Northeastern. One of my main concerns about NUin to which my daughter was accepted is the housing options when she returns to campus.

It sounds like they place kids where there are vacated rooms, so she could end up in an apt with seniors. This would bum her out. The entire NUIN experience is non-traditional. Some nuin kids end up rooming sith their friends from their trip, but most end up filling in spaces that are freed up from older student going on coop. I hope NEU is becoming more transparent on this process.

From watching the FB parent page over the years, it is clear they can do better. That said, for many nuin students, they are flexible enough to be housed where they end up and do fine. Many end up in nice apartments with helpful Older students, others end up in apartments with kids on coop and they are just in a different place. But for most, they are happy to be at NEU so the non-traditional first year is worth it.

Congrats on her acceptance- hope to see her next year! I just came back from NU. The NU. Last semester, there was approx. So that gives a lot of housing flexibility. Many students made friends during the semester abroad and request housing with these friends. Study abroad is a great bonding experience and the friendship they make abroad is very valuable.

Hope this helps. If you have any question, please follow up. Being in a college abroad would be more valuable and academically challenging. A few years ago when the East Village residence hall opened in December all returning NU In students were housed there Spring semester.

There were complaints from some students that it isolated them from the other students. So either way there are drawbacks. The key is to get out there, join clubs and get involved on campus. I think she would choose McGill in Canada. When you are in a legit university, are you taking classes with all the students there, or are the NUin kids in their own programs. Sigh - I wish she was just admitted for Fall.

So close and yet so far! Like you, we were less than thrilled about nuin acceptance. We all wanted the traditional first year experience for him. That being said, nu was where he wanted to go so he accepted. He was in Greece the first semester and met great friends who he dormed with for the first year and is still friends with many from nuin.

He traveled while in Greece and had a blast. Came back wishing he could stay longer. He joined a frat and is currently living off campus. He completed one coop at a great firm and accepted his second for july.

He traveled to france on this last break with his friends. At the last parent weekend, he pulled me aside and thanked me for allowing him to have the opportunity to attend nu. What more could I ask for? Was wondering if anyone knew the difference between NU. Both seem to be study abroad but I think Global Quest is second semester of freshman year and optional. Other than that they seem to be similar??

If anyone knows please lmk! Many freshmen have expressed interest in NU. Nuin admits are required to do Nuin if they want to attend NEU, but this global quest is an optional,program for interested frosh who start in Boston. I imagine this also makes room in housing for nuin students coming back to Boston and are guaranteed housing.

NEU focuses on global experiences and all these programs are popular with students.
