DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Neural Circuits and Plasticity (formerly Neural Plasticity) has been held in alternate years since 1977. We are requesting partial support for the June 26-July 1, 2005 meeting, and the 2007 and 2009 meetings, at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rl. The GRCs were established to stimulate scientific interchange in an informal setting. Interchange is promoted by the informal nature of the conference and by the large amount of time committed to questions during the sessions. The GRC rule prohibiting publication or citation of the meetings and presentations promotes open discussion of the latest results and current ideas. This format has been particularly useful for the Conference on Neural Circuits and Plasticity, a highly interdisciplinary meeting in which the formation, function, and plasticity of neural circuits is explored at the molecular, cellular, systems, and computational levels. The 2005 Conference will have 9 scientific sessions, with a keynote talk by Dr. Bert Sakmann, a Nobel Laureate and one of the most renowned scientists studying circuit function and plasticity. The scientific sessions will cover a range of topics of current interest in the field, from synaptogenesis to sensory coding. The speakers and session chairs are all either world leaders in their fields or up-and-coming junior investigators. Afternoon poster sessions provide an opportunity for all interested participants to present and discuss their work, and each session will include 1 or 2 short talks selected from the submitted abstracts. This format worked very well in previous years to promote young investigators. Question and answer periods are generously scheduled, and social events will permit new participants to meet speakers and session chairs informally. Past participants have found these informal interactions to be a highlight of the meeting, and an important source of scientific advancement for junior people. We are requesting support to fund the attendance of underrepresented groups in the field of Neural Circuit plasticity, including women and ethnic minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于神经回路和可塑性（以前是神经可塑性）的戈登研究会议（GRC）自1977年以来已在替代年份举行。我们要求对2007年6月26日至7月1日的2007年6月26日会议以及2007年和2009年的2009年在Newport in Newport University举行的2007年和2009年会议。建立GRC是为了在非正式环境中刺激科学互换。互换是由会议的非正式性质以及在会议期间致力于问题的大量时间来促进的。禁止出版或引用会议和演讲的GRC规则促进了有关最新结果和当前思想的公开讨论。这种格式对于关于神经回路和可塑性会议特别有用，这是一次高度跨学科的会议，在分子，细胞，系统和计算水平上探索了神经回路的形成，功能和可塑性。 2005年会议将举行9次科学会议，并由诺贝尔奖获得者伯特·萨克曼（Bert Sakmann）博士和研究电路功能和可塑性的最著名的科学家之一伯特·萨克曼（Bert Sakmann）博士进行主题演讲。从突触发生到感觉编码，科学会议将涵盖该领域当前感兴趣的一系列主题。演讲者和会议椅都是他们领域的世界领导人，或者是新兴的初级调查员。下午的海报会议为所有有兴趣的参与者提供了一个机会，可以介绍和讨论他们的工作，每个会议将包括从提交的摘要中选择的1或2次简短谈话。这种格式在往年促进年轻调查人员的效果非常好。问答期是慷慨安排的，社交活动将使新参与者可以非正式地与演讲者和会议主持人会面。过去的参与者发现这些非正式互动是会议的亮点，也是初级人士的科学进步的重要来源。我们要求支持在包括妇女和少数民族在内的神经循环塑性领域的代表性不足群体的出席。
