Partial Support for Annual Clinical Neuroscience and Society Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：这些会议的主要目标是发展和交流关于临床神经科学新发展的伦理、法律和社会影响的思想。这些问题包括功能性神经影像学、行为遗传学、分子神经生物学及其在理解正常和异常脑功能方面的应用。更具体地说，每次会议将：(1)将领先的临床神经科学家与生物伦理学、法律和社会方面的专家聚集在一起，确定神经科学与社会交叉的问题；(2)组织每个问题的知识库，注意哪些是相关的，哪些是已知的，哪些是未知的；(3)促进研究人员与临床医生之间的双向思想交流；(4)在会议之外传播这些演讲和交流的结果，制作会议视频并发布到网上，并在同行评审的档案文献中共同撰写一篇关于临床神经伦理学关键问题的文章。最先进的转化和临床神经科学将与更广泛的社会影响分析相结合，为包括实验室和临床科学家在内的观众提供服务。我们预计至少有一半的观众将是研究生、研究员和早期职业科学家，除了其他会议活动外，我们还将为这些人提供指导和海报展示的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of these meetings is the development and exchange of ideas concerning the ethical, legal and societal implications of new developments in clinical neuroscience. These include issues arising from functional neuroimaging, behavioral genetics, molecular neurobiology and their applications to understanding normal and abnormal brain function. More specifically, each conference will: (1) bring leading clinical neuroscientists together with experts on bioethics, law and society to identify issues at the intersection of neuroscience and society; (2) organize the knowledge base for each issue, noting what is relevant, what is known and what is not known; (3) foster bidirectional exchange of ideas between researchers and clinicians; (4) disseminate the results of these presentations and exchanges beyond the conference by creating videos of the sessions to post online and by contributing a collaboratively written article on a key issue in clinical neuroethics to the peer-reviewed archival literature. State-of-the-art translational and clinical neuroscience will be paired with analyses of their broader societal impact, for an audience including laboratory and clinical scientists. We anticipate at least half of the audience will be graduate students, fellows and early- career scientists, and will offer these individuals the opportunity for mentoring and poster presentations in addition to other conference activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This conference series will focus on the ethical, legal and social implications of recent advances in clinical neuroscience, with the objective of integrating state-of-the-art translational and clinical neuroscience with analyses of their broader societal impact. Awareness of these broader issues is essential for guiding basic and translational research toward the most responsible and beneficial outcomes.
