This is a request for funds to support a satellite meeting "Glial Meeting" during the Annual Meeting for the Society for Neuroscience. The PI currently has funds from NSF (grant #0316893 titled 'Molecular mechanisms of glial progenitor cell differentiation') awarded to Akiko Nishiyama through the Integrative Biology and Neuroscience Division.The funds will be used to support a Glial Meeting, which is listed as a satellite/ancillary meeting to the 2004 Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego. The following description of the meeting will be printed in the Program: 'There is increasing recognition that glia is not glue. The Glial Meeting is an informal gathering for investigators from diverse backgrounds to share new and exciting findings in glial biology and identify unsolved problems. There will be one or two short presentations followed by informal discussion and interactions among all attendees. Light refreshments will be served.' It will be held from 6:30 to 9:00 pm on October 25, 2004, in one of the meeting buildings in San Diego, CA, in the middle of the week during which the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience will be held. This meeting attracts more than 25,000 participants and is an excellent occasion to promote informal interaction among a diverse group of investigators interested in glial biology. The first Glial Meeting was held in 2003 and was organized by Dr. Harold Kimelberg in New Orleans, also during the Annual Neuroscience Meeting. This year, we are fortunate to have Dr. James Goldman from Columbia University who will present a talk on his recent studies on glial cell migration in living slices. Dr. Goldman has been studying the development and pathology of various types of glial cells for a number of years and has been one of the key contributors to uncovering the origin and migratory behavior of astrocytes and oligodendrocyte lineage cells. The meeting will include a number of minorities and women as participants. Since the organizer is a women and from a non-white background, the speaker was chosen from a general the population and was selected on the basis of one with the best scientific qualifications.

这是一项为神经科学学会年会期间的卫星会议“神经胶质会议”提供资金的请求。该协会目前拥有美国国家科学基金会通过综合生物学和神经科学分部授予西山明子的资金(赠款#0316893，题为“神经胶质前体细胞分化的分子机制”)。这些资金将用于支持神经胶质会议，该会议被列为2004年圣地亚哥神经科学学会会议的卫星/附属会议。这次会议的描述如下：“人们越来越认识到胶质细胞不是胶水。胶质细胞会议是一次非正式聚会，来自不同背景的研究人员将分享在神经胶质生物学方面令人兴奋的新发现，并找出未解决的问题。会议之后将有一两个简短的演讲，随后所有与会者将进行非正式讨论和互动。将提供少量茶点。”会议将于2004年10月25日晚上6：30至9：00在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的一座会议楼举行，会议将在神经科学学会年会举行的一周中举行。这次会议吸引了超过25,000名与会者，是促进对神经胶质生物学感兴趣的不同研究人员之间非正式互动的绝佳机会。第一次神经胶质会议于2003年举行，由Harold Kimelberg博士在新奥尔良组织，也是在年度神经科学会议期间举行的。今年，我们有幸请到了哥伦比亚大学的詹姆斯·戈德曼博士，他将介绍他最近关于活切片中神经胶质细胞迁移的研究。多年来，戈德曼博士一直在研究各种类型的胶质细胞的发育和病理学，他是揭示星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞系细胞的起源和迁移行为的关键贡献者之一。会议将包括一些少数群体和妇女作为与会者。由于组织者是一名妇女，而且非白人背景，演讲者是从一名普通妇女中挑选出来的，而且是根据最有科学资历的人选出的。
