Retinal Neurobiology and Visual Processing2002 FASEB Summer Research ConferenceJuly 6th to 11th, Saxtons River, VermontStephen Massey, Chair, and Marla Feller, Vice ChairThis is the sixth in a series of biannual conferences devoted specifically to the structure and function of the retina. The presentations will cover many facets of retinal biology including: the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying retinal development; the basis of neural signaling; the identification of neural circuits by which the retina processes visual input; the code by which retinal output is conveyed to the brain; and the resulting abilities and limitations of visual behavior. This five-day conference will attract approximately 180 participants from around the world. Thirty-five internationally recognized experts have agreed to present their work in formal talks, which are organized in nine thematic sessions, chaired by leaders in each field. Furthermore, emphasis has been placed on the contributions of younger scientists in an early career stage. In addition, there will be two informal workshops on new technology. Finally, all participants are invited to display their latest results during two poster sessions. The conference format is designed to foster direct scientific exchange among participants. Students and post-docs, particularly from under-represented minority groups, are strongly encouraged to attend. Many young scientists find new positions from contacts made at this meeting. There is ample time for discussion at the end of each presentation, during workshops and poster sessions and there is further free time for informal exchange at meals, which are communal.Because this conference attracts most of the field's senior investigators, it has been highly successful in disseminating results, and has significantly affected the course of retinal research. Furthermore, because the retina is at the forefront of neural circuit analysis and development, this conference will have far-reaching effects on the neuroscience community at large. Women are well represented and we have made a successful effort to attract under-represented minorities to the conference. However, we are particularly proud of our success in featuring young speakers and providing travel support for students to attend this meeting.

视网膜神经生物学和视觉处理2002年FASEB夏季研究会议7月6日至11日，萨克顿河，佛蒙特州斯蒂芬梅西，主席，和马拉费勒，副主席这是一系列专门致力于视网膜的结构和功能的两年一度的会议中的第六次。 这些演讲将涵盖视网膜生物学的许多方面，包括：视网膜发育的细胞和分子机制;神经信号的基础;视网膜处理视觉输入的神经回路的识别;视网膜输出传达到大脑的代码;以及由此产生的视觉行为的能力和限制。 为期五天的会议将吸引来自世界各地的约180名与会者。35名国际公认的专家已同意在正式会谈中介绍他们的工作，这些会谈分为九个专题会议，由每个领域的领导人主持。此外，还强调了处于职业生涯早期阶段的年轻科学家的贡献。此外，还将举办两次关于新技术的非正式讲习班。最后，邀请所有参与者在两次海报会议上展示他们的最新成果。会议形式旨在促进与会者之间的直接科学交流。强烈鼓励学生和博士后，特别是来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生和博士后参加。许多年轻的科学家从这次会议上建立的联系中找到了新的职位。 在每次演讲结束时，在研讨会和海报展示会上有足够的时间进行讨论，还有更多的自由时间在公共用餐时进行非正式交流。由于这次会议吸引了该领域的大多数高级研究人员，它在传播成果方面非常成功，并对视网膜研究的进程产生了重大影响。 此外，由于视网膜处于神经回路分析和开发的最前沿，本次会议将对整个神经科学界产生深远的影响。 妇女有很好的代表性，我们成功地吸引了代表性不足的少数民族参加会议。然而，我们特别自豪的是，我们成功地邀请了年轻的演讲者，并为学生参加这次会议提供了旅行支持。
