DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The quest to understand fundamental brain connectivity in the context of neuroimaging has received international levels of interest - most notably from countries around the Pacific. Under this R13 proposal (NIH PA-08-149), we seek support to cover the partial costs of a 3-day international meeting of leading researchers from North America and Pacific Rim regions entitled "New Horizons in Human Brain Imaging: A Focus on Brain Networks and Connectivity". The meeting will be comprised of key themes important to the next era of neuroimaging science and address the research and clinical motivations for the research using rapidly evolving methods for measuring and understanding functional and structural brain connectivity. In particular, the meeting will focus specifically on attainable means by which investigators from these nations may maximize collaborative effort in addressing the scientific and clinical challenges facing this dynamic and multi-disciplinary field. Thirty speakers are expected to provide insight into the basic and clinical neuroscience of brain networks and connectivity. Additionally, two to four small studentships will be award to students in each participating country, adjudicated based on desire to attend, financial need, suitability of the meeting for their research training, and on the basis of letters of recommendation from senior colleagues and mentors. A total of twenty studentships will be awarded. Meeting participants will enjoy formal scientific sessions during the meeting, have the opportunity to interact with the invited speakers during informal functions, and provide valuable feedback on their experiences to meeting organizers. This R13 meeting proposal speaks directly to the NIH's recent interests in the mapping of human brain connectivity, its mission to broaden participation across disciplinary boundaries, its goals in promoting international collaborations, and the open exchange of scientific knowledge, data, and resources. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Brain connectivity as measured using neuroimaging is rapidly becoming a major theme for research that is forming the basis for the next era of neuroscience research into brain health and disease. This interest toward understanding fundamental brain networks exists at an international level - notably from researchers around the Pacific Rim. This meeting seeks to gather leading neuroscientists from Pacific Rim countries to share ideas, data, and potentially resources toward the characterization, analysis, and modeling of brain functional and structural connectivity using neuroimaging. The meeting seeks to provide a vision for the future of human brain imaging in the context of brain networks and connectivity that will have direct impact on brain research, clinical medicine, and public health in the US and abroad.

描述（由申请人提供）： 在神经成像的背景下，对理解基本大脑连接的探索已经引起了国际层面的兴趣--特别是来自太平洋沿岸国家的兴趣。根据这项R13提案（NIH PA-08-149），我们寻求支持，以支付为期3天的国际会议的部分费用，该会议由来自北美和环太平洋地区的主要研究人员参加，题为“人脑成像的新视野：关注大脑网络和连接”。会议将包括对神经影像科学的下一个时代至关重要的关键主题，并使用快速发展的方法来测量和理解功能和结构大脑连接，以解决研究和临床动机。特别是，会议将特别侧重于可实现的手段，使这些国家的研究人员可以最大限度地发挥合作努力，以应对这一动态和多学科领域面临的科学和临床挑战。预计将有30位演讲者深入了解大脑网络和连接的基础和临床神经科学。此外，每个参与国家的学生将获得两到四个小型奖学金，根据参加的愿望，财务需求，会议对其研究培训的适用性以及资深同事和导师的推荐信进行裁决。总共将颁发20个奖学金。与会者将在会议期间参加正式的科学会议，有机会在非正式活动期间与受邀发言者互动，并就其经验向会议组织者提供宝贵的反馈。这项R13会议提案直接反映了NIH最近对人脑连接性绘图的兴趣、其扩大跨学科参与的使命、其促进国际合作的目标以及科学知识、数据和资源的开放交流。 公共卫生相关性：使用神经成像测量的大脑连接正在迅速成为研究的一个主要主题，它正在形成下一个大脑健康和疾病神经科学研究时代的基础。这种对理解基本大脑网络的兴趣存在于国际层面-特别是来自环太平洋地区的研究人员。本次会议旨在聚集来自太平洋沿岸国家的领先神经科学家，分享想法，数据和潜在的资源，以利用神经成像对大脑功能和结构连接进行表征，分析和建模。该会议旨在为大脑网络和连接背景下的人类大脑成像的未来提供愿景，这将对美国和国外的大脑研究，临床医学和公共卫生产生直接影响。
