## Abstract

Overall Component – Project Summary
The primary goal of the Rocky Mountain Neurological Disorders Center Core (RMNDC) is to provide resources
that will allow neuroscientists on the Anschutz Medical Campus to incorporate transformative technologies into
their research. Here, we target cutting edge neuroscience tools that are relatively new and considered to be
those that will have the highest impact on our on-going research, allow investigators to incorporate powerful
new approaches into their research programs and catalyze new collaborations.
 We propose three Research Cores (A, Optogenetics & Neural Engineering; B, Nanoscopy; C,
Behavioral and In Vivo Neurophysiology) that will provide powerful tools that advance strategically the impact
of the research and productivity of our neuroscience community. The new Cores will provide services not
available elsewhere on campus. Moreover, these Cores focus on research tools that are of high impact and
use to our neuroscience community. We prioritize staffing the Cores with experts in the equipment and tools
so that investigators without prior experience will be in a position to incorporate new methods into their
research programs appropriately and to the most exacting standards.
 Overall, the Cores will open up new avenues of research that are essential for on-going work of the
current 44 RMNDC PIs. Thus, the Cores will promote research regarding fundamental mechanisms underlying
nervous system development and function that is required to find innovative and more effective treatments for
neurological disease.
