DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Barrels meeting is the longest running (now in its 24th year) satellite meeting to the annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting. The meeting focuses on the anatomy, development, physiology, pathology and behavior of the rodent whisker-to-barrel system. The meeting serves as a catalyst for interactions between researchers in different laboratories and different scientific fields. Meeting attendance averages over 125 attendees annually with the majority being graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. The 2011 meeting will be held at the Charles Commons on the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University. The whisker-to-barrel pathway has become one of the most utilized model systems in Neuroscience for those interested in development, plasticity, sensory coding and behavioral studies. The Barrels meeting is annually arranged around general themes which bring together speakers utilizing different techniques to answer related questions. For each theme there will be three or four invited presentations (30 min) delivered by established researchers, followed by 4-6 shorter (15 min) talks by more junior researchers and graduate students. In addition there is a poster session (typically 50-60 posters are presented annually) and a data blitzes (5 min talks) for the latest results. This mix of long and short talks and poste presentations provides ample opportunity for new researchers to present their findings to an international audience of scientific peers. The Program Committee works via invitation of the invited speakers and selection of the short talks to maximize geographical, ethnic, career level and gender diversity. The Barrels meeting consistently encourages researchers to use the Barrels as a model system to explore behavior, development, sensory and motor function as well as a model to understand clinical disorders. Each year, the Barrels meeting invite's individuals from outside the "Barrels community" to present their research in order to expose the community to new and exciting developments. The Barrels meeting is held just prior to the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting which allows researchers, especially trainees to conveniently attend both meetings consecutively without having to make additional travel plans. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Barrels meeting is the longest running (now in its 24th year) satellite meeting to the annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting. The meeting focuses on the anatomy, development, physiology and behavior of the rodent whisker-to-barrel system as model to understand brain functioning under normal and pathological conditions. Disclaimer: Please note that the following critiques were prepared by the reviewers prior to the Study Section meeting and are provided in an essentially unedited form. While there is opportunity for the reviewers to update or revise their written evaluation, based upon the group's discussion, there is no guarantee that individual critiques have been updated subsequent to the discussion at the meeting. Therefore, the critiques may not fully reflect the final opinions of th individual reviewers at the close of group discussion or the final majority opinion of the group. Thus the Resume and Summary of Discussion is the final word on what the reviewers actually considered critical at the meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：Barrels 会议是神经科学学会年度会议上举办时间最长的卫星会议（现已举办 24 年）。会议重点讨论啮齿动物胡须到桶系统的解剖学、发育、生理学、病理学和行为。这次会议成为不同实验室和不同科学领域的研究人员之间互动的催化剂。每年平均出席会议的人数超过 125 人，其中大多数是研究生和博士后。 2011 年会议将在约翰·霍普金斯大学霍姆伍德校区的 Charles Commons 举行。对于那些对发育、可塑性、感觉编码和行为研究感兴趣的人来说，胡须到桶的途径已经成为神经科学中最常用的模型系统之一。 Barrels 会议每年围绕一般主题安排，使演讲者聚集在一起，利用不同的技术来回答相关问题。对于每个主题，将由知名研究人员进行三到四次受邀演讲（30 分钟），随后由初级研究人员和研究生进行 4-6 场简短的演讲（​​15 分钟）。此外，还有海报会议（通常每年展示 50-60 张海报）和数据闪电战（5 分钟演讲）以获取最新结果。这种长短演讲和后发表演讲的结合为新研究人员提供了充足的机会向国际科学同行展示他们的发现。计划委员会通过邀请演讲者和选择简短演讲来开展工作，以最大限度地提高地域、种族、职业水平和性别多样性。 Barrels 会议始终鼓励研究人员使用 Barrels 作为模型系统来探索行为、发育、感觉和运动功能以及理解临床疾病的模型。每年，Barrels 会议都会邀请“Barrels 社区”之外的个人展示他们的研究成果，以使社区了解新的、令人兴奋的发展。 Barrels 会议在年度神经科学学会会议之前举行，研究人员，尤其是受训人员可以方便地连续参加这两个会议，而无需制定额外的旅行计划。 公共卫生相关性：Barrels 会议是神经科学学会年度会议上举办时间最长的卫星会议（现已举办 24 年）。会议重点讨论啮齿动物胡须到桶系统的解剖学、发育、生理学和行为，作为了解正常和病理条件下大脑功能的模型。 免责声明：请注意，以下评论是由审稿人在研究部分会议之前准备的，并且以基本上未经编辑的形式提供。 虽然审稿人有机会根据小组的讨论更新或修改他们的书面评估，但不能保证个人批评在会议讨论后得到更新。 因此，评论可能无法完全反映小组讨论结束时个别审稿人的最终意见或小组的最终多数意见。因此，讨论的简历和摘要是审稿人在会议上实际认为关键的内容的最终决定。
