This project provides funding to support a conference focused on the neural mechanisms of natural behaviors, or neuroethology. The conference sessions focus on a broad set of principles by which the brain works, spanning development, evolution, and physiology of nervous systems that relate to variation in behavior. The conference includes extensive opportunities for training the next generations of scientists and particularly focuses on increasing the diversity of researchers in the field of neuroethology. A pre-meeting for students and postdocs allows newcomers to the field a chance to meet mentors and develop peer networks. The intimate size and remote location of the main conference promotes many opportunities for early career scientists to meet luminaries in the field, allowing students to develop a sense of belonging and develop collaborations with cutting-edge scientists around the world. Given the increasing appreciation among neuroscientists that studies of natural behavior offer uniquely powerful insights into fundamental of brain function, this conference brings together interdisciplinary researchers to tackle key questions that will advance our understanding of neural circuits. This project supports the Gordon Conference in Neuroethology, a venue to discuss innovative and interdisciplinary work into the neural circuit basis of behavior. The Gordon Conference structure promotes networking and collaborations across fields, and the program brings together researchers focused on natural behaviors, neurophysiology, molecular and cellular neuroscience, and computational neuroscience. Sessions cover broad topics relevant to leveraging neural circuit variation to understand fundamental principles of brain function, and the conference structure promotes discussion and interchange of ideas across disciplines. The conference leadership also has a strong plan for developing mentorship networks and sense of belonging for early career researchers that will increase diversity and inclusion in the field. This conference provides a key opportunity for leveraging the newly developed cutting edge technical and computational tools to devise key insights neural circuit function impacting behavior.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目提供了资金，以支持一项专注于自然行为或神经心理学的神经机制的会议。会议会议集中于一系列广泛的原则，大脑涵盖了与行为变化有关的神经系统的发展，进化和生理学。该会议包括大量培训下一代科学家的机会，尤其是专注于增加神经人体学领域的研究人员的多样性。为学生和博士后的前会议，使新来者有机会与导师会面并开发同伴网络。主要会议的私密规模和偏远位置为早期职业科学家提供了许多机会，可以与该领域的名人见面，从而使学生发展归属感并与世界各地的尖端科学家建立合作。鉴于神经科学家之间越来越多的欣赏，即对自然行为的研究为大脑功能的基础提供了独特的强大见解，因此该会议将跨学科的研究人员汇集在一起​​，以解决关键问题，以提高我们对神经回路的理解。该项目支持戈登神经障碍会议，这是一个将创新和跨学科工作讨论为行为的神经循环基础的场所。戈登会议结构促进了跨领域的网络和协作，该计划汇集了专注于自然行为，神经生理学，分子和细胞神经科学以及计算神经科学的研究人员。会议涵盖了与利用神经回路变化有关的广泛主题，以了解大脑功能的基本原理，并且会议结构促进了跨学科的思想的讨论和互换。会议领导人还制定了一个强大的计划，用于建立指导网络以及对早期职业研究人员的归属感，这将增加该领域的多样性和包容性。这次会议为利用新开发的尖端技术和计算工具提供了一个关键机会，以设计关键的见解神经电路功能影响行为。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估来评估值得支持的。
