The Gordon Research Conference on Neural Plasticity has been held every alternate year since 1977 in July at Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Gordon Research Conferences were established to stimulate ideas in an informal setting. Uninhibited discussion is fostered by GRC strictures on the publications, proceedings, or indeed the citation of presentations. The format has proved particularly useful in the conference on Neural Plasticity--a highly interdisciplinary meeting in which the subject of modifiability of the nervous system is examined at the molecular, cellular and systems levels and in which the participants come from broadly different backgrounds (biochemical, pharmacological, anatomical, electrophysiological, behavioral). One evening is set aside for a keynote speaker and poster session. The remaining eight sessions will focus on specific issues, with 3 or 4 scheduled speakers so that significant time is preserved for discussion. The discussion tends to continue informally during the afternoon, when no formal sessions are scheduled. It is the experience of participants that these informal interactions are often more fruitful than the extended sessions characteristic of other meetings. The formal program includes sessions on: cellular and molecular models of learning, learning in the adult cerebral cortex, genetic and hormonal models of neural development and plasticity, regulation of neuronal receptors, oncogenies and neural plasticity, neural grafting, NMDA receptors and long term potentiation, and the role of ion channels in neural plasticity.

戈登神经可塑性研究会议自1977年7月以来每隔一年在新罕布夏州沃尔夫伯勒的布鲁斯特学院举行。戈登研究会议的设立是为了在非正式的环境中激发想法。GRC对出版物、会议记录，甚至是对演讲的引用的限制，助长了不受限制的讨论。事实证明，这种形式在神经可塑性会议上特别有用--这是一个高度跨学科的会议，在分子、细胞和系统层面上研究神经系统的可调性问题，与会者来自广泛不同的背景(生化、药理学、解剖学、电生理学、行为学)。有一天晚上留出了主旨演讲和海报会议。其余八场会议将集中讨论具体问题，安排3或4名发言者，以节省大量时间进行讨论。讨论往往在下午非正式地继续进行，此时没有安排正式会议。与会者的经验是，这些非正式互动往往比其他会议的延长会议更有成效。正式课程包括：学习的细胞和分子模型，成人大脑皮层的学习，神经发育和可塑性的遗传和激素模型，神经元受体的调节，肿瘤发生和神经可塑性，神经移植，NMDA受体和长时程增强，以及离子通道在神经可塑性中的作用。
