PROJECT SUMMARY The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on “Thalamocortical Interactions: Thalamic Architecture, Dynamics, and Function in Health and Disease” will be held from February 6-11, 2022 at the Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Hotel, in Lucca (Barga), Italy. Participants from diverse backgrounds, areas of expertise, academic rank and locales will come together at this conference to discuss and debate new findings related to thalamus and its connections to cortical and subcortical networks; 150-200 attendees are expected. The meeting will be preceded by a 2-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) organized by and for trainees to promote science communication and mentorship, and to build community. The Aims are 1) To highlight recent developments and new areas of thalamic research from the molecular level to whole brain function in health and disease; 2) To foster collaborations among investigators at all career stages and in different countries, who have diverse areas of expertise and are otherwise unlikely to have the opportunity meet, discuss, and generate new ideas; and 3) To provide scientific and career development for trainees that promotes gender balance and diversity. Questions addressed at this meeting include the role of thalamus in perception, initiating movement, determining behavioral state (e.g. from sleep to arousal to engagement), global brain dynamics and how recent insights from the laboratory translate to therapeutic practice. The speakers are at the forefront of their fields in science and/or medicine and are instructed to present unpublished work, thus ensuring that the research discussed is cutting- edge and timely. The program is tailored to demonstrate that scientific excellence and diversity can easily coexist and to create mentorship opportunities for all trainees. The roster of speakers is fully balanced by gender and includes ~12% participation of Black and/or Latinx speakers. Additional events include “Power Hour”, an interactive venue designed to help all members of the community identify and dismantle career barriers that women and underrepresented groups still face, and a memorial for a pioneer of thalamus research, Ray Guillery, during which his life story (from refugee to Oxford professor) and contributions to the field are discussed. Each day will also offer opportunities for informal interactions at poster sessions, meals, and other events. The overall structure of the GRC creates a collegial atmosphere that is intellectually open and energizing, thus facilitating the exchange of knowledge and ideas. To promote an inclusive environment, the GRC administrators identify options for childcare and the site is ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. Thus, the conference is fine-tuned to foster new insights and collaborations and provide a wide variety of mentorship opportunities. Expected outcomes are that participants will leave the conference with fresh ideas for their own and/or new collaborative research that will advance the field, and that junior colleagues will forge lasting relationships with investigators at all career stages to promote scientific and career development. Moreover, this conference will provide an indelible example of how diversity, in its varied facets, and excellence in science go hand in hand.

项目摘要 戈登研究会议（GRC）的“丘脑皮质相互作用：丘脑结构，动力学， 2022年2月6日至11日在文艺复兴时期的托斯卡纳Il Ciocco举行 酒店，在卢卡（巴尔加），意大利。来自不同背景、专业领域、学术级别和 地方将聚集在这次会议上讨论和辩论有关丘脑及其 与皮层和皮层下网络的连接;预计有150-200名与会者。会议将在 为期两天的戈登研究研讨会（GRS），由学员组织，以促进科学传播 和指导，以及建立社区。目的是：1）突出最近的发展和新的领域， 从分子水平到健康和疾病中的全脑功能的丘脑研究; 2）培养 研究人员在所有职业阶段和不同国家之间的合作，他们拥有不同的领域， 专业知识，否则不太可能有机会见面，讨论，并产生新的想法;和3） 为学员提供科学和职业发展，促进性别平衡和多样性。问题 在这次会议上发表的包括丘脑在感知，启动运动，决定行为， 状态（例如，从睡眠到唤醒再到参与），全球大脑动态以及最近的见解如何 实验室转化为治疗实践。演讲者在科学和/或 医学，并指示目前未发表的工作，从而确保讨论的研究是切割- 边缘和及时。该计划是量身定制的，以证明科学的卓越性和多样性可以很容易地共存 并为所有学员提供师友机会。发言者名册按性别和性别完全平衡， 包括约12%的黑人和/或拉丁裔发言者的参与。其他活动包括“电源小时”， 互动场地，旨在帮助社区所有成员识别和消除职业障碍， 女性和代表性不足的群体仍然面临，丘脑研究先驱雷·吉勒里的纪念馆， 在此期间，他的生活故事（从难民到牛津大学教授）和贡献的领域进行了讨论。每个 日还将提供机会，在海报会议，膳食和其他活动的非正式互动。整体 GRC的结构创造了一个学术开放和充满活力的合议氛围，从而促进 知识和思想的交流。为了促进包容性环境，GRC管理员确定 该网站符合ADA（美国残疾人法案）。因此，会议是 微调，以促进新的见解和合作，并提供各种各样的导师机会。 预期的结果是，与会者将离开会议，为自己和/或新的 合作研究，这将推动该领域的发展，年轻的同事将建立持久的关系， 研究人员在所有职业阶段，以促进科学和职业发展。此外，本次会议将 提供了一个不可磨灭的例子，说明多样性，在其不同的方面，和卓越的科学齐头并进。
