DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Under the sponsorship of the Gordon Research Conferences, Drs. Li-Huei Tsai (Harvard Medical School) and Louis Reichardt (UCSF) are organizing a conference on Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology, to be held at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Hong Kong, China on June 11-16, 2006. Objectives The proposed GRC is organized with the following particular objectives: 1. To bring together a group of neuroscientists working at the forefront of molecular and cellular neurobiology and allow them to discuss in depth all aspects of the most recent advances in the field and to stimulate new directions of neuroscience research. 2. To promote interactions among neuroscientists from many nations over different continents. Particular emphasis will be placed between USA and Asian countries. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for scientists from North America, Europe and Asia to communicate recent scientific findings and to explore new areas of international collaborations. Furthermore, the conference will provide an opportunity for active interactions among scientists in relation to advancing the frontiers of molecular and cellular neurobiology in Asia and the Pacific region. Most of the Asian participants, especially those from China, would not have a chance to participate in this conference had it been held in the US, due to financial difficulties. Since 9/11, scientists from China also have difficulties obtaining entry visas to the US. The previous two GRC meetings in Hong Kong clearly served as a major platform for the Chinese trained graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to be exposed to world class neurobiologists. In keeping with the traditions of the prestigious GRC, all discussions in the week-long program will be informal and off-the-record to encourage open communication about frontier neuroscience research and developments. This "no disclosure" condition facilitates dissemination of information and ideas among the world's scientific community in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual channels of communication.

描述（由申请人提供）：在戈登研究会议的赞助下，Li-Huei Tsai博士（哈佛医学院）和Louis Reichardt博士（UCSF）将于2006年6月11日至16日在中国香港科技大学举办一次分子和细胞神经生物学会议。 目标拟议的GRC组织具有以下特定目标：1. 汇集了一群在分子和细胞神经生物学前沿工作的神经科学家，让他们深入讨论该领域最新进展的各个方面，并激发神经科学研究的新方向。 2. 促进来自不同大陆许多国家的神经科学家之间的互动。 重点将放在美国和亚洲国家之间。 会议将为来自北美、欧洲和亚洲的科学家提供一个独特的机会，交流最新的科学发现，并探索国际合作的新领域。 此外，会议将为科学家提供一个积极互动的机会，以推进亚洲和太平洋地区分子和细胞神经生物学的前沿。 由于财政困难，大多数亚洲与会者，特别是来自中国的与会者，如果这次会议在美国举行，将没有机会参加。 自9/11以来，中国科学家也很难获得美国的入境签证。 前两次在香港举行的GRC会议显然是中国培养的研究生和博士后研究员接触世界一流神经生物学家的主要平台。 为了与著名的GRC的传统保持一致，为期一周的计划中的所有讨论都将是非正式和非正式的，以鼓励关于前沿神经科学研究和发展的公开交流。 这一“不披露”的条件有助于在世界科学界传播信息和想法，而这是通过通常的通信渠道无法实现的。
