2017 Glial Biology Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Research Seminar

摘要 神经胶质生物学GRC将于2017年主办第八次会议。将来自欧洲、亚洲的调查人员聚集在一起 和美洲，它被认为是关于Glia的最重要的国际会议之一，并被认为是 神经胶质生物学作为神经科学的一个新兴分支领域的出现。GRC关于GILAL的首要目标 生物学将分享和讨论专注于神经胶质细胞发育、异质性和 神经系统中神经胶质细胞和其他类型细胞之间的功能相互作用。2017年的会议将在 强调胶质细胞在大脑发育中的作用，包括胶质细胞在神经回路形成和可塑性中的作用。 神经胶质细胞功能障碍在神经发育和神经退行性疾病中的作用 包括自闭症、瑞德综合症和亨廷顿病。本次会议还将突出最先进的技术 将有助于更好地了解胶质细胞在体内的发育和功能的技术。42 代表知名和年轻调查人员的演讲者和9名讨论负责人承诺 参与进来。这笔赠款的支持对于最大限度地提高学员的参与度至关重要，因为它在一定程度上资助了戈登 胶质生物学研究研讨会，将在GRC之前主办第二次会议。GRS将提供 为该领域的年轻科学家(研究生和博士后)提供机会，让他们见面、交流想法、获得 来自选定的知名研究人员的指导，并通过平台或 海报展示。重要的是，包括来自所有群体的调查人员，包括任职人数不足的人 少数群体和残疾人，将是最优先事项。 在GRC和GRS中，指定的会议将集中于神经中神经胶质细胞的发育和功能 在健康和患病的大脑以及更广泛的神经系统中的电路和代谢支持。这个 传播尖端研究成果和为青少年提供广泛的培训机会 通过这次会议，科学家们与美国国立卫生研究院的总体任务高度相关。

ABSTRACT The GRC on glial biology will host its 8th meeting in 2017. Drawing together investigators from Europe, Asia and the Americas, it is considered one of the foremost international meetings on glia and is credited with the emergence of glial biology as a burgeoning subfield of Neuroscience. The overarching aim of the GRC on glial biology is to share and discuss cutting edge research focused on glial cell development, heterogeneity and functional interactions between glia and other cell types in the nervous system. The 2017 meeting will place emphasis on the role of glia in brain development, including glial roles in neural circuit formation and plasticity, and also the contribution of glial cell dysfunction to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders including autism, Rhett syndrome, and Huntington’s disease. This meeting will also highlight state-of-the-art technologies that will facilitate a better understanding of glial cell development and function in vivo. 42 speakers and 9 discussion leaders representing both established and young investigators have committed to participate. The support of this grant is critical to maximize trainee participation, as it in part funds the Gordon Research Seminar on Glial Biology, which will host its 2nd meeting just prior to the GRC. The GRS will provide an opportunity for young scientists (graduate students and postdocs) in the field to meet, share ideas, receive mentorship from select established investigators, and present their works in progress either via platform or poster presentations. Importantly, inclusion of investigators from all people groups, including underrepresented minorities and those with disabilities, will be a top priority. In both the GRC and GRS, designated sessions will focus on the development and function of glia in neural circuitry and metabolic support in both the healthy and diseased brain and the broader nervous system. The dissemination of cutting edge research findings and extensive training opportunities for junior scientists enabled by this meeting are highly pertinent to the overall mission of the NIH.
