PROJECT SUMMARY The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on “Thalamocortical Interactions: Development, Function & Dysfunction of Thalamocortical Networks” will involve roughly 150 scientists of diverse expertise assembled to discuss and debate new findings related to the functioning of thalamus and cortex and their interactions. The conference will take place at the Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco, Lucca (Barga), Italy, during February 18-23, 2018. The meeting will include a series of 20 minute talks followed by 10 minute discussion periods plus time each day for less formal interactions at poster sessions. This GRC will offer a unique combination of features, including: breadth of research; cutting-edge emphasis; mingling of investigators from all ranks and diverse sub- fields and locales; and intimate size and extended discussion time, allowing for close and sustained interactions. The program of this GRC emphasizes development, function and dysfunction of thalamocortical interactions, and builds on these to explore their roles in cognition and neuronal disease states. This GRC represents a rare opportunity for neuroscientists interested in thalamocortical interactions to exchange new results, hypotheses, and ideas at many levels, from cellular through systems to cognitive and clinical. This is especially timely, because this field has been expanding significantly with the recent appreciation that thalamus plays an ongoing and critical role in cortical functioning, and newly described deficits in such disorders as schizophrenia, epilepsy, and autism appear to have at least partly a thalamocortical locus. We thus fully anticipate this GRC to significantly advance the field and potentially offer new insights into certain clinical conditions.

项目总结 戈登研究会议(GRC)的主题是“太平洋大脑皮层相互作用：发展、功能和 丘脑皮质网络的功能障碍“将涉及大约150名具有不同专业知识的科学家 讨论和辩论有关丘脑和皮质功能及其相互作用的新发现。这个 会议将于2月18日至23日在意大利卢卡(巴加)的文艺复兴托斯卡纳Il Ciocco举行， 2018年。会议将包括一系列20分钟的演讲，然后是10分钟的讨论时间和时间 每天在海报会议上进行不那么正式的互动。这款GRC将提供独特的功能组合， 包括：研究的广度；前沿的重点；来自各级和不同分部的调查人员的混合 领域和地点；亲密的大小和延长的讨论时间，允许密切和持续的互动。 该GRC项目强调丘脑皮质相互作用的发育、功能和功能障碍， 并在此基础上探索它们在认知和神经元疾病状态中的作用。这一GRC代表着一种罕见的 对于对丘脑皮质相互作用感兴趣的神经科学家来说，有机会交流新的结果、假设、 以及许多层面的想法，从细胞到系统，再到认知和临床。这是特别及时的， 因为这个领域一直在显著地扩大，最近人们认识到丘脑在 以及在精神分裂症、癫痫等疾病中的新发现的缺陷， 自闭症似乎至少部分与丘脑皮质有关。因此，我们完全预计这次GRC将显著 推动这一领域的发展，并有可能为某些临床情况提供新的见解。
