DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Multi-year funding is requested to partially support a new Gordon Research Conference entitled "Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia & Neurons". The first of these biennial conferences is Feb. 23-28, 2003 in Ventura CA. It will focus on complex issues at the frontier of glial biology involving neuron and glib interactions, with strong emphasis on cell-cell communication. Major conference themes include glial control of neuronal functions, neuronal control of glial activities, formation and functions of glia-neuron and glia-glia networks, neuron-glia & glia-glia interactions related to neurotransmission, trophic interactions and disease processes, and modeling of spatio-temporal processes. There are three primary conference objectives. (1) Initiation of a continuing interactive dialogue between scientists in different fields of glial biology, glia-neuron, and glia-glia interactions by providing a long-term forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge work in selected fields to a diverse group of leading researchers. (2) Suggest new integrative approaches to solve timely problems in brain function and disease, identify controversial issues that need new approaches to be resolved and foster collaborative projects in multi-disciplinary research. (3) Bring to the attention of the neuroscience community the importance of the glial cells and their interactions with other cell types in normal brain functions and disease and in modeling interactions of these cell types in functional systems of neuronal activity. The proposed program (9 oral & 4 poster sessions) has 27 invited speakers from the international community within the sub-disciplines of glial biology. To ensure vigorous discussion participants are limited to 135, with representation of senior and junior investigators, gender, minorities, and geographic area. The conference site has disability access. Federal funds are essential to support conference/travel costs for 42 invited participants (including awards for 14 meritorious junior researchers): NIH funds are requested to support 16 participants in each of 3 biannual conferences. "Glia & other non neural cells" is one of seven priority cross-cutting topics central to the NINDS strategic research questions for neuroscience in the new millennium. This Glial Biology Conference provides an international forum for emerging, innovative research related to glia functions and cell-cell interactions in health and disease.

描述（由申请人提供）： 要求提供多年资金，以部分支持一个新的戈登研究会议，题为“神经胶质生物学：神经胶质和神经元之间的功能相互作用”。这些两年一度的会议中的第一次是2003年2月23日至28日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行。它将集中在涉及神经元和神经胶质细胞相互作用的神经胶质生物学前沿的复杂问题上，并特别强调细胞间的通讯。主要会议主题包括神经元功能的神经胶质控制，神经元对神经胶质活动的控制，神经胶质-神经元和神经胶质-神经胶质网络的形成和功能，与神经传递相关的神经元-神经胶质和神经胶质-神经胶质相互作用，营养相互作用和疾病过程，以及时空过程的建模。会议有三个主要目标。(1)通过提供一个长期的论坛，为不同领域的领先研究人员介绍和讨论选定领域的前沿工作，在神经胶质生物学，神经胶质-神经元和神经胶质-神经胶质相互作用的不同领域的科学家之间开始持续的互动对话。(2)提出新的综合方法来解决大脑功能和疾病的及时问题，确定需要新方法解决的有争议的问题，并促进多学科研究中的合作项目。(3)引起神经科学界的注意，神经胶质细胞及其与其他细胞类型在正常脑功能和疾病中的相互作用，以及这些细胞类型在神经元活动的功能系统中的相互作用建模的重要性。拟议的项目（9场口头会议和4场海报会议）邀请了27名来自神经胶质生物学子学科国际社会的演讲者。为了确保积极的讨论，参与者限制在135人，包括高级和初级调查员、性别、少数民族和地理区域。 会议场地设有残疾人通道。联邦资金对于支持42名受邀与会者的会议/差旅费至关重要（包括14名优秀的初级研究人员的奖金）：要求NIH资金支持3次半年期会议中每次会议的16名与会者。“神经胶质细胞和其他非神经细胞”是NINDS新千年神经科学战略研究问题的七个优先交叉主题之一。本次神经胶质生物学会议为与健康和疾病中的神经胶质功能和细胞-细胞相互作用相关的新兴创新研究提供了一个国际论坛。
