This International workshop, being held in Sao Paolo, Brazil August 4-7, 2013, is focused on the neuroendocrinology of stress. Neuroendocrinology is fundamental to basic function and has implications in all aspects of life including neuroscience, endocrinology and even immunology and microbiology. On a broader scale, neuroendocrinology explains how an individual interacts in society and with the environment. While there are significant number of scientists studying neuroendocrine systems in the United States and in Latin America, interactions between these two groups have lagged. Given the recent advances in the field of neuroendocrinology, the goal of this workshop is to facilitate a consortium of US and South American neuroendocrinologists who can accelerate progress in this dynamic and growing area of science in the era of the globalization of science. Intellectual Merits: The objective of this workshop is to determine how the stress circuitry functions normally, how it can become dysregulated in adulthood and what this dysregulation means for health and disease. This workshop will focus on gaining a better understanding of the neuroplastic changes in the brain during development and adulthood in response to changing hormonal and environmental conditions. The outcome of this workshop will provide future directions that this burgeoning field should take. The questions will be addressed by describing the results of studies using state-of-the-art techniques that include genetic, epigenetic, molecular, biochemical and behavioral approaches. Broader Impact: This workshop is part of a longer term initiative to establish collaborative interactions between US and South American scientists and trainees. It is the added goal to give US students the benefit of an international experience. This grant will fund US young investigators (graduate students and investigators who are within 10 years of obtaining a PhD). Competitively selected young investigators will also have the opportunity to author a review article with senior mentors. This award is being co-funded by the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems in the Directorate for Biological Sciences and NSF's Office of International and Integrative Activities.

这个国际研讨会将于2013年8月4日至7日在巴西圣保罗举行，重点是压力的神经内分泌学。 神经内分泌学是基本功能的基础，在生活的各个方面都有影响，包括神经科学，内分泌学，甚至免疫学和微生物学。 在更广泛的范围内，神经内分泌学解释了个体如何在社会和环境中相互作用。 虽然在美国和拉丁美洲有大量的科学家研究神经内分泌系统，但这两个群体之间的相互作用已经滞后。鉴于神经内分泌学领域的最新进展，本次研讨会的目标是促进美国和南美神经内分泌学家的联盟，他们可以在科学全球化的时代加速这一充满活力和不断增长的科学领域的进展。 智力优势：本次研讨会的目的是确定压力电路如何正常运作，它如何在成年后变得失调，以及这种失调对健康和疾病意味着什么。 该研讨会将重点关注更好地了解大脑在发育和成年期间的神经可塑性变化，以应对不断变化的荷尔蒙和环境条件。 本次研讨会的成果将为这个新兴领域提供未来的发展方向。 这些问题将通过描述使用最先进的技术，包括遗传，表观遗传，分子，生物化学和行为方法的研究结果来解决。 更广泛的影响：该研讨会是一项长期倡议的一部分，旨在建立美国和南美科学家和学员之间的合作互动。 这是额外的目标，让美国学生的国际经验的好处。 这笔赠款将资助美国年轻的研究人员（研究生和研究人员谁是在10年内获得博士学位）。 竞争性选择的年轻研究人员也将有机会与高级导师一起撰写一篇评论文章。 该奖项由生物科学理事会综合有机系统司和NSF国际和综合活动办公室共同资助。
