DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support of the 6th and 7th Neurotrophic Factors Gordon Research Conference to be held at Salve Regina College, June 8-13, 2003 and in June, 2005. This international conference, which has been held every two years since 1993, will provide an overview of the most exciting recent developments in the biology of neurotrophic factors. Both basic molecular and structural advances together with in vivo actions of neurotrophic factors will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the emerging roles of neurotrophic factors in regulating the function of adult neurons, and in promoting recovery in the injured nervous system. Eight sessions are planned and will cover; (1) Stem cell regulation by neurotrophic factors; (2) Neurotrophic factor signaling and transport; (3) Neurotrophic factors and ion channels; (4) Regulation of dendritic and axonal growth; (5) Modulation of synaptic transmission by neurotrophic factors; (6) Neurotrophic actions upon connections and pathfinding; (7) Regulation of glial biology by neurotrophic factors; (8) Neurotrophic factions in models of central nervous system diseases. This conference will be a major vehicle for the integration of new knowledge in the field of diverse biological processes regulated by neurotophic factors. It should be noted that this is the only national meeting at which the most recent and exciting work on neurotrophic factors is presented biannually. This conference has an excellent past record in including women, minorities, young investigators and foreign scientists as session leaders, speakers and participants, and these goals are reflected in the preliminary program for 2003. It is the serious intentions of the Co-chairs of the Gordon Conference ( B.Hempstead and Y.-A. Barde) to profile new and young investigators as speakers in this Conference and for them to have a leadership role at this meeting.

申请者描述(申请人提供)：本申请是对2003年6月8-13日和2005年6月在萨尔维里吉纳学院举行的第六届和第七届神经营养因子戈登研究会议的部分支持。这次国际会议自1993年以来每两年举行一次，将概述神经营养因子生物学方面最令人兴奋的最新发展。我们将讨论神经营养因子在分子和结构上的基本进展以及在体内的作用。重点将放在神经营养因子在调节成年神经元功能和促进受损神经系统恢复方面的新作用。计划举办八场会议，内容包括：(1)神经营养因子对干细胞的调节；(2)神经营养因子的信号和转运；(3)神经营养因子和离子通道；(4)树突状细胞和轴突生长的调节；(5)神经营养因子对突触传递的调节；(6)神经营养因子对连接和寻路的神经营养作用；(7)神经营养因子对神经胶质生物学的调节；(8)中枢神经系统疾病模型中的神经营养功能。这次会议将是整合由神经营养因子调节的不同生物过程领域的新知识的主要工具。应该指出的是，这是唯一一次每两年提交一次关于神经营养因子的最新和令人兴奋的工作的全国性会议。这次会议在吸收妇女、少数民族、青年研究人员和外国科学家担任会议领导人、演讲者和与会者方面有着良好的过去记录，这些目标反映在2003年的初步计划中。戈登会议联合主席(B.Hempstead和Y.-A.Barde)的严肃意图是将新的和年轻的研究人员介绍为本次会议的发言者，并让他们在本次会议上发挥领导作用。
