2004 Genes and Behavior Gordon Conference to be held February 2004, Ventura, California

2004年戈登基因与行为会议基因如何影响行为的研究是生命科学的重要前沿之一，对阐明生物学的各个领域有着深远的希望。要求提供资金以帮助支持参加将于2004年2月8日至13日在加州文图拉假日酒店举行的第一届戈登基因与行为研究会议的人员的旅费。戈登会议以促进新领域的活动而闻名。本次会议将集中讨论动物行为、神经生物学、遗传学、分子生物学和进化生物学等领域的重要课题，以促进“基因与行为”研究的更广泛的综合。我们的目标是首次将那些在精心挑选的“模式行为系统”中研究自然行为的人与那些在实验室中使用“模式遗传系统”研究行为的人聚集在一起。会议的主要目标是创造一种环境，按照已经建立并备受尊敬的戈登研究会议的形式，在这种环境中，会议重点科学领域的专家和受训者可以开始建立联系和合作，以形成一种研究基因和行为的综合方法。

2004 Gordon Conference on Genes and BehaviorThe study of how genes influence behavior is one of the important frontiers in the life sciences and holds profound promise to illuminate diverse areas of biology. Funds are requested to help support travel costs for people participating in the first Gordon Research Conference on Genes and Behavior, to be held on 8-13 February 2004 at the Holiday Inn, Ventura, California. Gordon Conferences are renowned for catalyzing activity in new fields. This Conference will focus on selected, important topics at the interface of animal behavior, neurobiology, genetics, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology, to catalyze a broader synthesis of the study of "genes and behavior." We aim to bring together for the first time those that study behavior in nature in carefully selected "model behavioral systems" with those who study behavior in the laboratory with "model genetic systems." The principal goal is to create an environment, according to the well established and highly respected Gordon Research Conference format, in which experts and trainees in areas of science central to the meeting focus can start to build connections and collaborations to forge a comprehensive approach to the study of genes and behavior.
