Society for the Neurobiology of Language Annual Meeting

 描述(由申请者提供)：本申请的主要目标是通过支持一年一度的科学会议--语言神经生物学学会(SNL)年会，促进言语和语言神经生物学的研究和培训。SNL通过强调神经科学研究和沟通障碍与语言和语言的认知、语言、心理语言学、知觉和运动控制模型的整合方面的最强有力的工作，填补了关于语言的神经生物学基础的科学会议的急需的空白。在这项建议中，我们的目标是(1)支持召开语言神经生物学年会，为所有相关领域的研究人员提供一个互动的论坛，包括(A)神经科学、遗传学、心理学、语言学、数学、计算和物理等基础科学领域；以及(B)神经学、神经外科、言语/语言病理学和精神病学等临床科学领域；(2)通过引入普通神经科学和语言神经科学的杰出主旨演讲者，扩大该领域研究人员的知识广度；(3)通过向学生和博士后研究员颁发旅行和注册奖学金，以及举办特别受训人员讲习班，促进语言神经生物学方面的培训和教育；以及(4)通过向相关学科代表性不足的群体的成员提供参加会议的奖学金，促进这一领域的多样性。因为SNL会议聚集了广泛的活跃的科学家、临床医生和通常不定期互动的学生，我们相信这些会议将在语言的神经生物学方面带来有价值的新的互动、合作和新的想法，包括基本的科学发现和临床应用 在神经性语言障碍的生理学治疗中。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this application is to promote research and training in the neurobiology of speech and language via support for an annual scientific conference, the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language (SNL). SNL fills a much needed gap in scientific meetings on the neurobiological basis of language by emphasizing the strongest work on the integration of neuroscience research and communication disorders with cognitive, linguistic, psycholinguistic, perceptual, and motor control models of speech and language. In this proposal, we aim (1) to support an annual meeting on the Neurobiology of Language, providing a forum for the interaction of researchers in the full range of allied areas including (a) basic scientific fields of neuroscience, genetics, psychology, linguistics, mathematics, computation, and physics; and (b) clinical scientific fields of neurology, neurosurgery, speech/language pathology, and psychiatry; (2) to expand the breadth of knowledge of researchers in the field by bringing in distinguished keynote speakers in both general neuroscience and language neuroscience; (3) to advance training and education in the neurobiology of language by awarding travel and registration scholarships to students and postdoctoral fellows, and by holding special trainee workshops; and (4) to promote diversity in the field by providing scholarships for conference attendance to members of groups that are under- represented in the relevant disciplines. Because the SNL meeting brings together a broad range of active scientists, clinicians, and students who do not normally interact regularly, we believe these meetings will lead to valuable new interactions, collaborations, and novel ideas in the neurobiology of language, including both basic scientific findings and clinical applications in physiologically-based therapies for neurogenic language disorders.
