ABSTRACT The Gordon Research Conference on Glial Biology entitled Glial networking: Cell biology, physiology and plasticity will host its 10th meeting in 2023 in Ventura, California. This conference brings together a diverse group of established investigators and young trainees from around the world and is widely considered the preeminent forum devoted to the topic of glial cells in health and disease. The overarching aim of this GRC is to discuss cutting edge research focused on glial cell development, functional interactions between glia and other cell types in the healthy nervous system, and the contributions of glial cells to disease and other disorders of the nervous system. The 2023 meeting will emphasize discussion of emerging studies on the cellular, physiological, and molecular interactions between glial subtypes, glia and neurons, and glia and non-neuronal cells (e.g. the immune system, vasculature, and other peripheral barriers). Through our recruitment of innovative speakers, this meeting will highlight state-of-the-art technologies that have the potential to greatly expand the ability to selectively visualize and manipulate distinct glial cell types, to gain greater insight into the diverse roles of glia in a variety of contexts. The meeting will host presentations from 45 Speakers in sessions led by 15 Discussion Leaders, representing both influential, established scientists and young investigators just beginning to embark on their independent research careers. 61% of the planned speakers are woman, and greater than 30% of the Speakers are young investigators within five years of establishing their own laboratories. 82% have already accepted (and did so within 48 hrs), highlighting the enthusiasm for this meeting. Of note, two established scientists will lead a timely and important discussion session (“Power Hour”) entitled Creating an inclusive lab environment: Preventing and addressing harassment and discrimination”. Participation by underrepresented minorities is being actively solicited and will be supported by available funds, and inclusion of investigators and trainees from all people groups, including underrepresented minorities and those with disabilities, will be a top priority. NIH support of this grant is critical to maximize trainee participation, as it funds not only the GRC, but also the trainee-led Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Glial Biology, which will host its 4th meeting just prior to the GRC. The GRS provides an opportunity for young scientists (graduate students and postdocs) in the field to share ideas, host a keynote speaker, and present their work in progress via platform or poster presentations to each other and the GRC chairs and keynote speaker. 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 and NINDS.

抽象的 戈登神经胶质生物学研究会议题为神经胶质网络：细胞生物学、生理学和可塑性将 将于 2023 年在加利福尼亚州文图拉举办第十次会议。本次会议汇集了不同领域的知名人士 来自世界各地的研究人员和年轻学员，被广泛认为是致力于研究问题的卓越论坛 神经胶质细胞在健康和疾病中的主题。该 GRC 的总体目标是讨论重点研究的前沿研究 神经胶质细胞的发育、健康神经系统中神经胶质细胞和其他细胞类型之间的功能相互作用，以及 神经胶质细胞对神经系统疾病和其他疾病的贡献。 2023年会议将强调 讨论关于神经胶质亚型、神经胶质细胞和神经胶质细胞之间的细胞、生理和分子相互作用的新兴研究 神经元、神经胶质细胞和非神经元细胞（例如免疫系统、脉管系统和其他外周屏障）。通过我们的 招募创新演讲者，本次会议将重点介绍有潜力的最先进技术 极大地扩展了选择性可视化和操纵不同神经胶质细胞类型的能力，以更深入地了解 神经胶质细胞在各种情况下发挥不同的作用。会议将有 45 名发言人在 15 名发言人的主持下进行演讲 讨论领袖，代表有影响力的知名科学家和刚刚起步的年轻研究人员 关于他们的独立研究生涯。 61% 的计划演讲者是女性，超过 30% 的演讲者是女性 年轻的研究人员在五年内建立了自己的实验室。 82% 已经接受（并且在 48小时），凸显了本次会议的热情。值得注意的是，两位知名科学家将领导一项及时而重要的研究 题为“创建包容性实验室环境：预防和解决骚扰”的讨论会（“Power Hour”） 和歧视”。正在积极争取代表性不足的少数群体的参与，并将得到以下机构的支持： 可用资金，以及纳入来自所有人群（包括代表性不足的少数群体）的调查员和受训人员 和残疾人士，将是重中之重。 NIH 对这笔赠款的支持对于最大限度地提高受训者的参与至关重要，因为 它不仅资助 GRC，还资助由实习生主导的神经胶质生物学戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)，该研讨会将举办其 GRC 之前举行的第四次会议。 GRS 为年轻科学家（研究生和博士后）提供机会 在现场分享想法，主持主旨演讲，并通过平台或海报演示展示他们正在进行的工作 彼此以及 GRC 主席和主讲人。在 GRC 和 GRS 中，指定会议将重点关注 神经胶质细胞在健康和患病大脑以及神经回路和代谢支持中的发育和功能 更广泛的神经系统。传播前沿研究成果和广泛的培训机会 这次会议促成的年轻科学家与 NIH 和 NINDS 的总体使命高度相关。
