1991 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON NEURAL PLASTICITY

戈登神经可塑性研究会议在北京举行 1977年7月在纽约州沃尔夫伯勒布鲁斯特学院举行的另类年份 汉普郡。我们请求为计划中的会议提供部分支持 1991年6月30日至7月5日。戈登研究会议的成立是为了 在非正式的环境中促进科学交流。无拘无束 一项禁止发表会议的规定促进了讨论 演讲，甚至是他们的引用。这一格式已经证明 对神经可塑性会议特别有用--一个高度 跨学科会议，会议的主题是 神经系统在分子、细胞和系统水平上进行检查。 参与者来自不同的背景 (生化、药理学、解剖学、电生理学、行为学 和计算性)。留出了一个晚上的主旨演讲者 世卫组织是相关且高度相关的发展领域的专家 生物学。剩下的八场会议将集中讨论以下具体问题 当前的特殊利益，每个人只有三个预定的演讲者 有足够的时间进行讨论。讨论将会 在下午没有正式会议的时候，继续更非正式的 已经安排好了。这是过去参与者的经验，这些非正式的 交互特别有用，这是它的显著优势之一 戈登会议的形式。1991年拟议方案包括 会议内容：神经递质对基因表达的调节，类固醇 神经系统中的激素机制、结构和功能 谷氨酸受体，离子电流的调制，细胞规格 无脊椎动物突触发育的命运，发育的可塑性， 海马体中的信息处理，以及对 计算神经科学。

Gordon Research Conference on Neural Plasticity has been held in alternative years since 1977 in July at Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. We are requesting partial support for the Conference planned for June 30- July 5, 1991. Gordon Research Conferences were established to stimulate scientific interchange in an informal setting. Uninhibited discussion is fostered by a rule prohibiting publication of the meetings presentations, or indeed their citation. The format has proved particularly useful for the Conference on Neural Plasticity-a highly interdisciplinary meeting in which the subject of modifiability of the nervous system is examined at the molecular, cellular and systems levels and in which the participants come from quite varied backgrounds (biochemical, pharmacological, anatomical, electrophysiological, behavioral and computational). One evening has been set aside for a keynote speaker who is an expert in a related, and highly relevant field, Developmental Biology. The remaining eight sessions will focus on specific issues of particular current interest, each with only three scheduled speakers so that adequate time is available for discussion. The discussion will continue more informally during the afternoon, when no formal sessions are scheduled. It is the experience of past participants that these informal interactions are particularly useful and are one of the distinct advantages of the Gordon Conference format. The proposed program for 1991 includes sessions on: neurotransmitter regulation of gene expression, steroid hormone mechanisms in the nervous system, structure and function of glutamate receptors, modulation of ionic currents, specification of cell fate during development, development plasticity of invertebrate synapses, information processing in the hippocampus, and an introduction to Computational Neurosciences.
