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.

摘要 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 2023年在加州文图拉举办第十次会议。这次会议汇集了一个不同的群体， 来自世界各地的研究人员和年轻的受训人员，被广泛认为是致力于 健康与疾病中的神经胶质细胞这个GRC的首要目标是讨论前沿研究，重点是 神经胶质细胞发育，神经胶质细胞和健康神经系统中其他细胞类型之间的功能相互作用， 神经胶质细胞对神经系统疾病和其他病症的贡献。2023年会议将强调 讨论神经胶质亚型、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。 神经元以及神经胶质和非神经元细胞（例如免疫系统、脉管系统和其它外周屏障）。通过我们 本次会议将招募创新演讲者，重点介绍有潜力的最新技术 极大地扩展了选择性地可视化和操纵不同胶质细胞类型的能力，以更深入地了解神经胶质细胞的功能。 神经胶质在不同环境中的不同作用。会议将在由15位发言者主持的会议上举行45位发言者的演讲。 讨论领袖，代表有影响力的，建立科学家和年轻的研究人员刚刚开始着手 他们的独立研究生涯。61%的计划发言人是妇女，30%以上的发言人是 年轻的研究人员在五年内建立了自己的实验室。82%的人已经接受（并在 48小时），突出了这次会议的热情。值得注意的是，两位知名科学家将领导一个及时而重要的 讨论会（“Power Hour”），题为“创建包容性实验室环境：预防和解决骚扰” 歧视”。目前正在积极争取代表性不足的少数群体参与，并将得到下列方面的支持： 现有资金，并包括来自所有人群，包括代表性不足的少数群体的调查员和受训人员 和残疾人的问题将是重中之重。NIH对该补助金的支持对于最大限度地提高受训者的参与至关重要， 它不仅资助了GRC，还资助了由受训者领导的关于神经胶质生物学的戈登研究研讨会（GRS），该研讨会将举办其 第四次会议在GRC之前举行。GRS为年轻科学家（研究生和博士后）提供了机会。 在现场分享想法，主持主题演讲，并通过平台或海报展示展示他们正在进行的工作 以及GRC主席和主旨发言人。在GRC和GRS中，指定的会议将侧重于 神经胶质细胞在健康和患病大脑中的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， 这次会议所激励的初级科学家与NIH和NINDS的总体使命高度相关。
