Project Summary The 2023 GRC chairs are organizing a Gordon Research Conference (GRC) with an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for young scientists on “Modulation of Neural Circuits and Behavior” from May 21- 26, 2023, in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. Brains adjust information processing and optimize behaviors in response to ever-changing environmental demands. This astonishing flexibility relies on the modulation of brain functions at multiple levels, from synapses to neural circuits, and occurs over a wide range of time scales. The modulation of brain functions regulates basic biological states such as feeding, sleep or sex, and it is of key importance for cognitive brain functions such as attention and learning. Deep insights into neuromodulation are not only critical to understand the neural basis of intelligence and behavior but also to understand how different mental states, motivation, salience, and other important phenomena are controlled. Moreover, mechanistic insights into neuromodulatory mechanisms are key to understand brain dysfunctions and diseases including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and many others. The 2023 “Modulation of Neural Circuits and Behavior” GRC/GRS will bring together scientists with diverse backgrounds to discuss current concepts and exciting new results in this growing field. The meeting will cut across disciplines and model organisms and focus on topics that have a high potential to synergize. Rather than following traditional subdivisions of the broad field of neuromodulation, the session topics will bridge between scientific communities and disciplines. The organizing committee expects that the organized and informal discussions will generate new insights and highlight promising directions of future progress.
