The 2010 Neural Development Gordon Research Conference (held biannually since 1981) will bring together scientists exploring multiple aspects of brain and nervous system development. The goal of the conference is to discuss recent research findings, establish collaborations and to educate and expose students to cutting edge research in neuronal development. The brain is responsible for integrating environmental stimuli with an organism's response and its behavior. Thus, elucidating how organisms learn to adapt to changing environments requires an understanding of brain development at a basic level. The principles of nervous system development are similar between animals as diverse as fruit flies and humans. Therefore, much information has been obtained from studies in simpler, more experimentally tractable organisms. At this meeting, researchers exploring brain development in a range of organisms will present their findings, allowing for the initiation of new research avenues. Gordon Conferences are unique for their intimate and informal formats, which allow researchers to interact extensively and to exchange and discuss ideas. In particular, these conferences encourage extended discussions following each oral presentation, which allows for the free exchange of opinions. This is the only conference which addresses the topic of neuronal development broadly in a small, interactive venue, and fulfills an important need in the community. Gordon conferences also provide an outstanding opportunity for students to meet and interact with luminaries in the field. Since the majority of participants present posters, this also allows students to present and discuss their work with attending researchers. Thus, the broader impacts of this conference are far-reaching, and attendance at Gordon Conferences such as this provides excellent educational opportunities, as well as opportunities to establish contacts and collaborations.

2010年神经发育戈登研究会议（自1981年以来每半年举行一次）将汇集科学家探索大脑和神经系统发育的多个方面。会议的目标是讨论最近的研究结果，建立合作，并教育和接触学生在神经元发育的前沿研究。大脑负责将环境刺激与生物体的反应及其行为相结合。因此，阐明生物体如何学习适应不断变化的环境需要在基本水平上了解大脑发育。神经系统发育的原理在果蝇和人类等各种动物之间是相似的。因此，从对更简单、更易于实验处理的生物体的研究中获得了许多信息。在这次会议上，探索一系列生物体大脑发育的研究人员将展示他们的发现，从而开辟新的研究途径。戈登会议以其亲密和非正式的形式而独特，使研究人员能够广泛互动，交流和讨论想法。特别是，这些会议鼓励在每次口头发言后进行广泛讨论，以便自由交换意见。这是唯一一个在小型互动场所广泛讨论神经元发育主题的会议，并满足了社区的重要需求。戈登会议还为学生提供了一个绝佳的机会，以满足和在该领域的名人互动。由于大多数参与者都展示了海报，这也使学生能够与参加研究的研究人员展示和讨论他们的工作。因此，这次会议的广泛影响是深远的，参加戈登会议，如这提供了极好的教育机会，以及建立联系和合作的机会。
