 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "The Auditory System" Gordon Research Conference ("Auditory GRC") consisting of ~125-150 scientists of diverse expertise will convene on July 10-15, 2016, at Bates College, to discuss and debate new findings in hearing research and related fields, under the theme of "The Plastic and Dynamic Auditory System". The Auditory GRC is preceded by a smaller Gordon Research Seminar ("Auditory GRS", July 9-10) and will comprise of talks and posters by 40-50 investigators-in-training, thereby serving as a gateway to the GRC. Together the Auditory GRC & GRS offer a unique combination of features, including: breadth of research, cutting-edge emphasis, mingling of investigators from all ranks and diverse sub-fields and locales, and intimate size and extended discussion time, allowing for close and sustained interactions. Some of these features arise from unique qualities of the hearing research field and others from the Gordon Conferences' established nature. Since the 1920s, the GRC organization has supported meetings famous for their unfettered debate and discussion of emerging results. The program of the 2016 Auditory GRC emphasizes plasticity in the auditory system and the diverse ways in which the auditory system adapts to genetic, environmental, and developmental changes, and the reduction and restoration of acoustic signals in the system. Investigators will present new results in areas from genetics to central nervous system physiology and behavior. Topics include genetic regulation of inner ear epithelia, hair bundles, and echolocation, hair cell transduction and synaptic transmission, noise trauma at cochlear and systems levels, and neural encoding of sound location and speech. We have learned from experience to spread different model systems and technologies throughout the sessions, so that each session has something for everyone - encouraging unusually high attendance throughout the meeting and cross-fertilization across disciplines. The clinical importance of auditory research will be highlighted with presentations that consider the mechanisms underlying human disorders (e.g. noise trauma and aging) and translational efforts to fix them (e.g., hair cell regeneration, cochlear implant). For the Auditory GRS, talks are selected from registrants' submitted abstracts and anchored by a keynote address by an invited mentor-participant who is an assistant professor. Mentoring is an active component of the GRS - in addition to the keynote speaker, the GRC organizers (also senior investigators) are available for discussion, and a mentoring session, featuring a representative from NIDCD and other grant agencies, is planned.

 描述(由申请者提供)：“听觉系统”戈登研究会议(“听觉GRC”)由125-150名具有不同专业知识的科学家组成，将于2016年7月10日至15日在贝茨学院召开，讨论和辩论听力研究和相关领域的新发现，主题为“整形和动态听觉系统”。听觉GRC之前是一个较小的戈登研究研讨会(“听觉GRS”，7月9-10日)，将由40-50名受训研究人员的演讲和海报组成，从而成为GRC的门户。听觉GRC和GRS一起提供了独特的功能组合，包括：研究的广度、前沿的重点、来自各个级别和不同子领域和地点的研究人员的混合、亲密的规模和延长的讨论时间，允许密切和持续的互动。其中一些特征来自听力研究领域的独特品质，另一些则来自戈登会议的既定性质。自20世纪20年代以来，GRC组织一直支持以无拘无束的辩论和对新成果的讨论而闻名的会议。2016年听觉GRC项目强调听觉系统的可塑性，以及听觉系统适应遗传、环境和发育变化的不同方式，以及系统中声音信号的减少和恢复。研究人员将展示从遗传学到中枢神经系统生理学和行为学等领域的新结果。主题包括内耳上皮、毛束和回声定位的遗传调节，毛细胞转导和突触传递，耳蜗声和系统水平的噪音创伤，以及声音位置和语音的神经编码。我们从经验中吸取教训，在会议期间传播不同的模式系统和技术，使每一次会议都有适合每个人的东西--鼓励在整个会议期间出席率异常高，并在不同学科之间相互促进。听力研究的临床重要性将通过演讲来强调，这些演讲考虑了人类疾病的潜在机制(例如，噪音创伤和衰老)，以及修复这些疾病的翻译努力(例如，毛细胞再生、人工耳蜗术)。对于听觉型GRS，演讲是从注册者提交的摘要中挑选出来的，并以一位受邀的导师兼参与者、助理教授的主旨演讲为基础。辅导是GRS的一个积极组成部分--除了主旨演讲者外，GRC的组织者(也是高级调查人员)可供讨论，并计划举行一次由NIDCD和其他赠款机构的代表参加的辅导会议。
