This project is for partial support for an international meeting on Glial Biology, as part of the Gordon Research Conference series, to be held in Ventura, California, March 15-20, 2009. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to increase our understanding of the manner in which glial cells in the brain interact with one another and with neurons during normal brain function and in neurological diseases. The biology of two specific glial cell types, astrocytes and microglial cells, is emphasized in this meeting. The specific aim of this meeting will be to convene 44 speakers to discuss critical areas of glial research with a total of 140 participants, during a five-day conference. The program will address glia cell involvement in synaptic structure and function, neurogenesis, brain energy metabolism, cerebral blood flow, and some neurological diseases including tumors and stroke. The Glial Biology GCR is designed to: 1. Initiate and help sustain an interactive dialogue between scientists in different fields of glial biology and glial-neuron interactions by providing a long-term forum for presentation of cutting-edge work to a diverse group of leading researchers. 2. Suggest new approaches to solve timely glial biology problems and help identify controversial issues in this field that require resolution. 3. Raise awareness in the neuroscience community of the importance of glial-neuronal interactions. Specific presentations at this conference will focus on the involvement of glial cells in brain development, tumor formation and spread, normal and deranged energy metabolism (e.g., stroke and hypoglycemia) and pain perception. Students and post-doctoral fellows will be invited and will have a unique opportunity to learn from some of the most distinguished glial scientists in the world.

这个项目是部分支持国际会议上神经胶质生物学，作为戈登研究会议系列的一部分，将在文图拉，加州，2009年3月15日至20日举行。会议的广泛和长期目标是增加我们对大脑中神经胶质细胞在正常脑功能和神经系统疾病中相互作用以及与神经元相互作用的方式的理解。 两个特定的神经胶质细胞类型，星形胶质细胞和小胶质细胞的生物学，强调在这次会议上。本次会议的具体目标是在为期五天的会议期间召集44名发言人，与140名与会者讨论神经胶质研究的关键领域。该计划将解决神经胶质细胞参与突触结构和功能，神经发生，脑能量代谢，脑血流，以及一些神经系统疾病，包括肿瘤和中风。神经胶质生物学GCR旨在：1。通过提供一个长期的论坛，向不同的领先研究人员群体介绍尖端工作，发起并帮助维持神经胶质生物学和神经胶质-神经元相互作用不同领域的科学家之间的互动对话。 2.提出新的方法来解决及时的神经胶质生物学问题，并帮助确定在这一领域需要解决的争议问题。 3.提高神经科学界对神经胶质-神经元相互作用重要性的认识。在这次会议上的具体介绍将集中在神经胶质细胞在大脑发育，肿瘤形成和扩散，正常和紊乱的能量代谢（例如，中风和低血糖）和疼痛感知。学生和博士后研究员将被邀请，并将有一个独特的机会，从世界上一些最杰出的神经胶质科学家学习。
