The 20th NorthEast Under/graduate Research Organization for Neuroscience (NEURON) conference will be held on April 10th, 2011 at The City University of New York (CUNY) Hunter College. The goal of this meeting is to encourage professional development in Neuroscience. The approach is to provide an ideal learning and outreach environment while enhancing accessibility to all young scientists making their first impressions in an academic setting. Congruent with previous meetings, a high participation of underrepresented groups in neuroscience is anticipated, attracted by the exemplary keynote speaker and high quality workshops/symposia. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Dolores Malaspina, who is a Steckler Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Behavioral Health Programs. She will give the keynote address on "Sex differences: From germ cells to brain cells". Additionally, four professional development workshops/ symposiums will be offered. Students will be offered advice in a session entitled, "Getting into graduate or medical school" led by Daniel Dacosta. There will be a symposium on "Animal models of neurodevelopmental disorders" led by Anthony Santarelli. Dr. Angela Seliga will host the "Brain Primer" docent program. Ruth Russell will use her extensive background in outreach to host "Outreach: Public awareness in neuroscience" while demonstrating its practice with the interactive exhibit "Brain: The Inside Story" at the Museum of Natural History. These experiences will provide neuroscientists in training with exposure to new research, networking, and tools to improve their professional development.

第20届东北神经科学研究组织（NEURON）会议将于2011年4月10日在纽约（CUNY）亨特学院举行。本次会议的目的是鼓励神经科学的专业发展。 这种做法是提供一个理想的学习和外联环境，同时使所有青年科学家更容易在学术环境中留下第一印象。 与以前的会议一致，预计神经科学中代表性不足的群体将高度参与，受到模范主旨演讲者和高质量研讨会/专题讨论会的吸引。 主讲人将是Dolores Malaspina博士，他是纽约大学行为健康项目的Steckler精神病学教授。 她将以“性别差异：从生殖细胞到脑细胞”为题发表主题演讲。 此外，还将举办四次专业发展讲习班/研讨会。 学生们将在一个由丹尼尔达科斯塔领导的题为“进入研究生院或医学院”的会议上得到建议。 将有一个关于“神经发育障碍的动物模型”的研讨会，由安东尼·桑塔雷利领导。 安吉拉·塞利加博士将主持“大脑入门”讲解员项目。 露丝·罗素将利用她在外展方面的广泛背景，主持“外展：神经科学中的公众意识”，同时在自然历史博物馆的互动展览“大脑：内幕”中展示其实践。 这些经验将为接受培训的神经科学家提供新的研究，网络和工具，以提高他们的专业发展。
