Conference: Stress Neurobiology Workshop

在自然界中，暴露在压力下是无处不在的，也是塑造生物体发育和健康的众多因素之一。压力神经生物学研讨会在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行，为期3天，召集来自不同学科的研究人员讨论我们对压力、大脑和行为之间相互作用的最新进展。研讨会的目标是完善和拓宽我们对压力神经生物学的系统层面的理解，促进更广泛的视角和使用更广泛的技术来研究压力与大脑的相互作用，促进参与者之间新的合作努力的发展，并促进设计、执行、解释和领导应激神经科学研究的人员之间更大的多样性。讲习班发言人和会议主席中有相当一部分是妇女和在科技、经济、经济和经济领域任职人数不足的群体的成员。讲习班的一个重要方面是学员的参与。这笔来自国家科学基金会的资金将使应激神经生物学领域的研究生和博士后能够参加会议，展示他们的工作并参与讨论，并接受社区更资深成员的直接指导。2024年应激神经生物学研讨会的科学内容包括五个主题会议，重点是应激对大脑发育、心理社会行为和认知、神经内分泌反应和神经回路功能的影响。主旨演讲者和座谈会演讲者将介绍从遗传和分子到神经回路和系统，再到行为和社区影响等多个层面的研究工作。重要的是，将讨论阐明不同生物体中应激的神经生物学的研究。会议包括与会者之间充分的讨论时间，这对于将新想法与现有模型和科学进步相结合是必要的。由旅游奖项支持的学员将提供数据闪电战演示，参与海报会议，并与资深导师配对。通过这笔赠款获得的资金专门用于支持学员参与和专业发展。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Exposure to stress is ubiquitous in nature and is one of the many factors that shape the development and wellbeing of an organism. The Stress Neurobiology Workshop, a 3-day event in Boston, MA, convenes researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss recent advances in our understanding of the interactions between stress, brain, and behavior. The goals of the workshop are to refine and broaden our systems level understanding of stress neurobiology, foster broader perspectives and use of a wider range of technologies to study stress-brain interactions, facilitate the development of new collaborative efforts among participants, and promote greater diversity among the people who design, execute, interpret, and lead stress neuroscience research. A substantial fraction of the workshop speakers and session chairs are women and members of groups underrepresented in STEM fields. An important aspect of the workshop is the participation of trainees. This funding from the National Science Foundation will enable graduate and postdoctoral students in the field of stress neurobiology to attend the meeting, present their work and participate in discussions, and receive direct mentoring from more senior members of the community. The scientific content of the 2024 Stress Neurobiology Workshop includes five thematic sessions focused on the impact of stress on brain development, psychosocial behavior and cognition, neuroendocrine responses, and neural circuit functions. Keynote and symposia speakers will present work at several levels of investigation, from genetic and molecular, to neural circuits and systems, to behavior and community impacts. Importantly, research elucidating the neurobiology of stress in different organisms will be discussed. The meeting includes ample time for discussion among participants, which is necessary for synthesizing new ideas with existing models and scientific progress. Trainees supported by travel awards will deliver data blitz presentations, participate in poster sessions, and be matched with senior mentors. Funds received through this grant are dedicated exclusively to the support of trainee participation and professional development.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.
