PROJECT SUMMARY 2017 Amygdala Function in Emotion, Cognition & Disease GRC/GRS The Amygdala Function in Emotion, Cognition & Disease Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is the sixth biennial installment of a five-day meeting scheduled for August 6-11 2017 at Stonehill College, Easton, Massachusetts, to be chaired by Andrew Holmes and Kay Tye. The amygdala has been identified as a central node within brain systems subserving an array of higher-order behaviors that are disturbed in various mental disorders. Thus, the focus of the meeting reflects an ongoing shift in psychiatry towards framing the study of mental illness in terms of aberrant neural circuit functions. The aims are 1) to foster interactions across disciplines (from basic discovery research to translational research) related to understanding the role of the amygdala in mediating higher-order behaviors and mental disease states, particularly those characterized by addiction and anxiety, 2) to highlight important new tools and techniques that may be applied to the study of the amygdala, with the hope of opening new scientific questions and avenues of research, and 3) to mentor a new generation of scientists and scientist-clinicians, particularly women and other underrepresented minority groups, in a highly supportive and inclusive setting. The meeting will open with a Keynote session consisting of three plenary lectures by pioneers in neuroscience (George Koob, BJ Casey and Joseph LeDoux), selected to bring their unique and authoritative perspectives on the state of the field. The GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is a unique two-day forum for graduate students, post-docs and other junior scientists to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. Interest in the amygdala, a brain structure known to play a pivotal role in emotional and reward processes, has increased considerably in recent years. Indeed, there is marked overlap in the amygdala plasticity mechanisms found to be maladaptive in models of, for example, drug abuse and anxiety. Added to this is a compelling body of clinical evidence implicating the amygdala in disorders ranging from post-traumatic stress disorder, autism and substance use disorders and other addictions. For these reasons, a central goal of the meeting is to further integrate investigators in the addiction field, and their research, into the fabric of this GRC. This will be achieved via a keynote lecture from a leading addiction investigator (Koob) and the inclusion of multiple sessions that explicitly focus on addiction and related themes through talks from NIDA and NIAAA funded leaders in the science of drug abuse and addiction. We expect these presentations to showcase innovative research approaches to studying the amygdala in drug abuse, and to stimulate cross-fertilization between addiction research and other aspects of work on the amygdala.

项目概要2017杏仁核在情绪、认知和疾病中的功能GRC/GRS 杏仁核在情绪，认知和疾病戈登研究会议（GRC）是第六届 为期五天的会议定于2017年8月6日至11日在斯通希尔学院，伊斯顿， 马萨诸塞州，由安德鲁·霍姆斯和凯·泰主持。杏仁核被认为是 大脑系统中的一个节点，负责一系列在各种心理活动中受到干扰的高级行为 紊乱因此，会议的重点反映了精神病学正在进行的转变， 神经回路功能异常的精神疾病。目标是：（1）促进跨部门的互动 学科（从基础发现研究到转化研究）， 杏仁核介导高级行为和精神疾病状态，特别是那些特征为 成瘾和焦虑，2）强调可能适用于研究的重要新工具和技术， 杏仁核，希望开辟新的科学问题和研究途径，3）指导一个 新一代科学家和科学临床医生，特别是妇女和其他代表性不足的少数群体 在一个高度支持和包容的环境中。 会议将以一个由神经科学先驱的三个全体演讲组成的主题演讲开始 （乔治库布，BJ凯西和约瑟夫勒杜），选择带来他们独特的和权威的观点， 场的状态。在GRC之前，戈登研究研讨会（GRS）是一个独特的为期两天的 论坛研究生，博士后和其他初级科学家提出和交流新的数据和 尖端的想法。 杏仁核是一种在情绪和奖励过程中起关键作用的大脑结构， 近年来大幅增加。事实上，杏仁核的可塑性 例如，在药物滥用和焦虑的模型中发现了适应不良的机制。除此之外， 令人信服的临床证据表明，杏仁核与创伤后应激障碍有关， 精神障碍、自闭症和物质使用障碍以及其他成瘾。由于这些原因， 会议是为了进一步整合成瘾领域的调查人员，以及他们的研究，进入这个GRC的结构。 这将通过一个主要的成瘾调查员（Koob）的主题演讲来实现， 通过NIDA和NIAAA的谈话，明确关注成瘾和相关主题的多个会议 资助药物滥用和成瘾科学的领导者。我们希望这些演讲能展示 研究药物滥用中杏仁核的创新研究方法，并刺激异花受精 成瘾研究和杏仁核研究的其他方面之间的联系。
