Gordon Research Conference on Neural Development

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登神经发育会议已成为神经科学大领域的重要会议。自1981年成立以来，这个两年一次的会议吸引了优秀的演讲者，优秀的学生，博士后研究员和广泛活跃的科学家，从初级教师到该领域的高级领导人。今年会议的主题包括：干细胞、神经诱导、转录控制以及轴突引导和突触发生的各个方面。将介绍来自模型无脊椎动物和脊椎动物系统的研究。一系列演讲者，其中近一半是女性，已经从高级到初级教师中挑选出来，会议还增加了一个最新新闻的部分，以确定明年明显的新的和令人兴奋的方向。几位演讲者的工作领域与临床直接相关，包括干细胞、再生和人类皮质畸形的遗传学研究。发言者将有45-50分钟的发言时间，其中三分之一用于讨论。下午将开放给非正式的互动。海报会议将安排在下午，并将在晚上演讲后的社交时段保持张贴。鼓励与会者提交海报，这是一个很好的培训和科学功能。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Conference in Neural Development has become a key meeting in the larger field of neuroscience. From its inception in 1981, this biannual meeting has attracted superb speakers, excellent students, postdoctoral fellows, and a wide range of active scientists from junior faculty to senior leaders in the field. Sessions featured in this year's meeting include: stem cells, neural induction, transcriptional control and various aspects of axon guidance and synaptogenesis. Studies from both model invertebrate and vertebrate systems will be presented. A range of speakers, nearly half of whom are women, has been selected from senior to junior faculty, and an additional section for late-breaking news has been introduced into the meeting to identify new and exciting directions that become apparent over the next year. Several of the speakers work in areas of direct clinical relevance, including studies on stem cells, regeneration, and the genetics of human cortical malformations. Speakers will be given 45-50 minutes for their presentations, of which one third will be devoted to discussion. Afternoons will be open for informal interactions. Poster sessions will be scheduled for afternoons and will remain posted during the social periods following the evening presentations. Participants will be encouraged to present posters, which serves as an excellent training and scientific function.
