DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for partial funding for the conference on "Retinal Neurobiology and Visual Processing", held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) to be held in Saxtons River, Vermont, July 17-22, 2004. This will be the seventh in a series of biannual conferences that has established a unique forum for researchers with a variety of backgrounds to discuss vision. The participants have traditionally drawn from many areas of neurobiology and vision research with the goal of applying state-of-the-art techniques to understanding the neurobiological basis of vision. A second goal of this meeting is to provide opportunities for graduate and postdoctoral students to meet and share their ideas with established investigators. The proposed conference program addresses questions that are of high interest to the vision community. The major session topics will be 1) retinal implants 2) dendritic processing, 3) relative role of genetic factors and neural activity in retinal development 4) visual signaling from retina to brain 5) interneuron signaling 6) models for retinal disease, 7) plasticity in the retina, and 8) the biophysics of release. In addition, there will be a workshop on transfection techniques and two 2-day poster sessions. Approximately 180 participants will be chosen from among scientists most likely to participate in discussion in a stimulating free exchange of ideas. This conference will allow for critical review of recent research as well as an evaluation of future directions.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请，为“视网膜神经生物学和视觉处理”会议提供部分资金，该会议由美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）主办，将于2004年7月17日至22日在佛蒙特州的萨克顿河举行。这将是一系列一年两次的会议中的第七次，该会议为具有各种背景的研究人员建立了一个独特的论坛，以讨论视觉。传统上，参与者来自神经生物学和视觉研究的许多领域，目标是应用最先进的技术来理解视觉的神经生物学基础。本次会议的第二个目标是为研究生和博士后学生提供机会，以满足和分享他们的想法与既定的研究人员。拟议的会议计划解决了视觉社区高度感兴趣的问题。主要会议主题将是1）视网膜植入物2）树突状处理，3）遗传因素和神经活动在视网膜发育中的相对作用4）从视网膜到大脑的视觉信号5）中间神经元信号6）视网膜疾病模型，7）视网膜可塑性，以及8）释放的生物物理学。此外，将有一个关于转染技术的研讨会和两个为期2天的海报会议。大约180名与会者将从最有可能参加讨论的科学家中选出，以促进自由交换意见。这次会议将允许最近的研究以及对未来方向的评估进行批判性审查。
