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）：在神经影像范围内了解基本的大脑连通性的追求已获得国际兴趣 - 最著名的是来自太平洋周围的国家。根据这一R13提案（NIH PA-08-149），我们寻求支持，以支付来自北美和太平洋地区的领先研究人员为期3天的国际会议的部分成本，题为“人脑成像中的新视野：关注大脑网络和连接性”。会议将由对下一个神经影像学时代至关重要的关键主题组成，并使用快速发展的方法来衡量研究和临床动机，以衡量和理解功能和结构性大脑连接性。特别是，这次会议将专门集中于可达到的手段，这些方法可以通过这些国家的调查人员最大程度地提高协作努力，以应对这一动态和多学科领域面临的科学和临床挑战。 Thirty speakers are expected to provide insight into the basic and clinical neuroscience of brain networks and connectivity.此外，根据渴望参加的愿望，经济需求，对他们的研究培训的会议适用性以及基于高级同事和导师的推荐信，将授予每个参与国家的学生的两到四个小学生。 A total of twenty studentships will be awarded.会议参与者将在会议期间享受正式的科学会议，有机会在非正式职能期间与受邀演讲者进行互动，并就他们为组织者会面的经验提供宝贵的反馈。这项R13会议提案直接谈到了NIH对人脑连通性映射的最新利益，其使命是扩大跨学科界限的参与，其在促进国际合作方面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：使用神经影像学测量的大脑连通性正迅速成为研究的主要主题，这是下一个对大脑健康和疾病的神经科学研究时代的基础。了解基本脑网络的这种兴趣存在于国际层面 - 特别是来自太平洋地区的研究人员。这次会议旨在从太平洋国家 /地区收集领先的神经科学家，以分享思想，数据以及潜在的资源，以使用神经影像来对大脑功能和结构连通性进行表征，分析和建模。会议试图在大脑网络和连通性的背景下为人脑成像的未来提供愿景，这将直接影响美国和国外的大脑研究，临床医学和公共卫生。
