Project Summary: This proposal requests funds to support the 10th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Neuroethology, to be held August 6 - August 11, 2023 at Mount Snow, West Dover Vermont, USA. Funds received from the NIH will be used solely to defray the travel and registration costs incurred by students, postdocs, and other invited speakers, with preference being given to early career scientists, women, and members of under-represented groups in STEM. The GRC will be preceded by a two day Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) organized by a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow along with invited mentors that are leaders in the field. The GRS offers graduate students and postdocs an opportunity to present their current research and to build a sense of community within their field prior to attending the GRC. Together, the GRC and GRS provide unique opportunities for networking and collaboration. Central to the BRAIN initiative is a growing appreciation that the neural circuit dynamics that underlie complex behaviors vary strikingly based on context, and hence studies of natural behaviors in diverse animals are critical for a meaningful understanding of the neural basis of behavior. Recent cutting-edge methodologies and computational approaches in neuroethology are revealing how features of individual neurons (e.g. biochemistry, connectivity) impact circuit function, and how recent history, homeostatic mechanisms, and energetics shape neural circuit output and hence behavioral performance. The 2023 GRC program encompasses a multidisciplinary approach to neural circuit computations. The speakers are applying new technologies in diverse animals to link genes, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology of cells to emergent circuit properties. Animals experience varying and unpredictable sensory environments and themselves have variable experiences and internal states – all of which impact neuron and circuit properties. Neural circuits have evolved homeostatic mechanisms to buffer variability as well as diverse forms of plasticity to tune themselves to meet the ongoing needs of the animals. The resulting circuit configurations influence neural coding and the abilities of animals to perform adaptive behaviors in complex, real world environments.

项目总结： 这项提案要求资金支持第十届神经行为学戈登研究会议(GRC)， 2023年8月6日至8月11日在美国佛蒙特州西多佛市的雪山举行。从NIH收到的资金将 仅用于支付学生、博士后和其他受邀人员的旅费和注册费 发言者，优先考虑早期职业科学家、妇女和代表不足的成员 STEM中的组。在GRC之前，将举行为期两天的研究生研究研讨会(GRS)，由 研究生和博士后研究员以及该领域的领军人物特邀导师。《全球资源报告》 为研究生和博士后提供机会介绍他们目前的研究并建立一种 在参加GRC之前，在他们的领域内的社区。总而言之，GRC和GRS提供独特的 网络和协作的机会。 大脑活动的中心是越来越多的人意识到，复杂的神经回路动力学 行为因环境而有显著差异，因此对不同动物的自然行为的研究 对于有意义地理解行为的神经基础至关重要。最新的尖端方法和 神经行为学中的计算方法正在揭示单个神经元的特征(如 生物化学、连通性)对电路功能的影响，以及最近的历史、动态平衡机制和 能量学塑造了神经回路输出，从而影响了行为表现。2023年GRC计划 包含神经电路计算的多学科方法。演讲者正在应用新的 在不同动物中将细胞的基因、生物化学、解剖学和生理学与新兴技术联系起来的技术 线路特性。动物经历了多变和不可预测的感觉环境，而它们自己 变化的经验和内部状态--所有这些都会影响神经元和电路的特性。神经电路 已经进化出动态平衡机制来缓冲变异性以及各种形式的可塑性来调整 以满足动物的持续需求。由此产生的电路配置影响神经 编码和动物在复杂的现实世界环境中执行适应行为的能力。
