DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application we are requesting support for a selected subset of invited speakers as well as students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 15th biennial meeting of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience to be held in Edinburgh 4-7th of August 2004. Recent years have seen substantial advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate processes fundamental to development of the nervous system. This meeting will highlight specific areas of development where our advances in the basic understanding have begun to elucidate underlying mechanisms of disease and/or illuminate novel avenues for therapeutic approaches. For example, planned sessions range from animal models of Autism, through mitochondria alterations in the developing CNS to the role of stem cells in development and repair. The program is aimed at attracting basic scientists working in neural development as well as physician scientists working in areas of neurological disease. In addition, the long-term health of the field of developmental neuroscience is dependent on fostering young investigators and 2 sessions will be dedicated to young investigators with short talks selected from submitted abstracts. Furthermore, women will chair approximately one third of the general sessions. This is an exciting time in developmental neuroscience and the types of scientific interactions afforded by this meeting will help to advance our understanding by bringing together workers in distinct but related areas.

描述（由申请人提供）：在此申请中，我们要求支持一些被邀请的演讲者以及学生和博士后参加将于2004年8月4日至7日在爱丁堡举行的第15届国际发展神经科学学会两年一次的会议。近年来，我们对调节神经系统发育基本过程的细胞和分子机制的理解取得了实质性进展。本次会议将重点介绍我们在基础认识方面的进展已经开始阐明疾病的潜在机制和/或阐明治疗方法的新途径的具体发展领域。例如，计划的会议范围从自闭症的动物模型，到发育中的中枢神经系统中的线粒体改变，再到干细胞在发育和修复中的作用。该项目旨在吸引从事神经发育研究的基础科学家以及从事神经疾病领域研究的内科科学家。此外，发育神经科学领域的长期健康发展依赖于培养年轻的研究者，将有2场会议专门针对年轻的研究者，从提交的摘要中选择简短的演讲。此外，妇女将主持大约三分之一的一般性会议。这是发育神经科学的一个激动人心的时刻，这次会议提供的科学互动类型将有助于通过将不同但相关领域的工作者聚集在一起，促进我们的理解。
