The first laboratory of neurophysiology was installed in the medical school of the University of Honduras during the 1992-1993 academic year. The goal of the project was to improve the teaching of physiology in the medical curriculum and to establish a neuroscience research laboratory able to address Honduran needs. In addition to a computer learning facility and wet labs in neurophysiology for medical students, an independent research program that focused on social problems in the country (for example, the effects of malnutrition on the developing central nervous system) was developed, paving the way for the first graduate program in physiology in Honduras. Funded by a Fulbright Lectureship Grant, the shoe-string budget was augmented by donations of equipment by colleagues. This first-hand account describes the planning and implementation of the project, covering both expected and unexpected problems and successes. An update on the progress of the lab after two years of independent operation is also described.
1992 - 1993学年期间，洪都拉斯大学医学院设立了首个神经生理学实验室。该项目的目标是改进医学课程中的生理学教学，并建立一个能够满足洪都拉斯需求的神经科学研究实验室。除了为医学生提供计算机学习设施和神经生理学湿实验室外，还开展了一个专注于该国社会问题（例如营养不良对发育中的中枢神经系统的影响）的独立研究项目，为洪都拉斯首个生理学研究生项目铺平了道路。该项目由富布赖特讲师奖学金资助，微薄的预算因同事捐赠的设备而有所增加。这篇第一手记述描述了该项目的规划与实施，涵盖了预期和意外的问题与成功。文中还介绍了实验室独立运营两年后的进展情况。
