DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad objective of the conference is to provide a forum for in-depth dialogue in the area of Neural Control of Behavior, with the goal of coming up with ways that investigators can take their research in new directions. The specific aims to meet this goal are the following: Bring together researchers who are asking similar questions in the area of Neural Control of Behavior, but are using different model systems (from worm to fly, to bird, to mammal) and different experimental approaches (from molecular genetics, to cellular and systems physiology, to behavior); Promote the use of simple model systems for addressing complex biological problems in the field of Neural Control of Behavior; Promote interaction between junior scientists - women in particular- and established investigators and leaders in the field; Provide a high-quality educational forum, in an intimate setting, that is conducive for in-depth discussion and learning. The meeting will take place over the course of 3 days. The conference begins with a keynote lecture by Dr. Thomas Insel, Director of the NIMH. The first two days will be devoted to a symposium that will be open to the general scientific community (est. 150 registrants). There will be a total of four sessions with 5 speakers per session: (1) Neurobiological Basis of Social Behavior; (2) Fear and Anxiety; (3) Sleeping and Dreaming; (4) The Aging Brain. The speakers represent a balance of model system (use of invertebrate, lower vertebrate, and mammal) and experimental approach (use of molecular, cellular, systems, and behavioral levels of analyses), career level and gender. The third day of the meeting will be devoted to an intimate workshop of the speakers and conference participants (est. 30 participants). The aim of the workshop is to discuss strengths of the different model systems and experimental approaches discussed during the symposium, and come up with ways that we can use that information to take our respective research areas in new directions. The speakers at this meeting use modern, cutting-edge technologies for addressing problems in the area of Neural Control of Behavior. By bringing together these researchers, and giving them a forum for discussing their experimental approaches, the message can be effectively spread that these modern techniques can (and are) being used with great success in a wide variety of model systems. This will provide an important interdisciplinary communications-mechanism for advancements in the basic-science biomedical community.

描述（由申请人提供）：会议的广泛目标是为行为神经控制领域的深入对话提供一个论坛，其目标是提出研究人员可以将其研究推向新方向的方法。实现这一目标的具体目标如下：将在行为神经控制领域提出类似问题但使用不同模型系统的研究人员聚集在一起（从蠕虫到苍蝇，鸟类，哺乳动物）和不同的实验方法（从分子遗传学到细胞和系统生理学，再到行为）;促进使用简单的模型系统来解决行为神经控制领域的复杂生物学问题;促进初级科学家-特别是妇女-与该领域的既定调查人员和领导人之间的互动;提供一个高质量的教育论坛，在一个亲密的设置，有利于深入的讨论和学习。 会议将在3天内举行。会议首先由NIMH主任托马斯因塞尔博士发表主题演讲。前两天将专门举办一场向一般科学界开放的研讨会（est. 150名登记者）。将有总共四个会议，每节5个发言人：（1）社会行为的神经生物学基础;（2）恐惧和焦虑;（3）睡眠和做梦;（4）衰老的大脑。演讲者代表了模型系统（使用无脊椎动物，低等脊椎动物和哺乳动物）和实验方法（使用分子，细胞，系统和行为水平的分析），职业水平和性别的平衡。会议的第三天将专门用于演讲者和与会者的亲密研讨会（EST。30名与会者）。研讨会的目的是讨论研讨会期间讨论的不同模型系统和实验方法的优势，并提出我们可以利用这些信息将各自的研究领域推向新方向的方法。本次会议的演讲者使用现代尖端技术来解决行为神经控制领域的问题。通过将这些研究人员聚集在一起，并为他们提供一个讨论他们的实验方法的论坛，可以有效地传播这样一个信息，即这些现代技术可以（并且正在）在各种各样的模型系统中获得巨大成功。这将为基础科学生物医学界的进步提供一个重要的跨学科交流机制。
