CONF: 2009 Graduate Research Seminar Catecholamines- August 8, 2009-Biddeford, ME

本次研究生儿茶酚胺研究研讨会的目标是通过在GRC-CA会议之前为研究生和博士后提供为期两天的儿茶酚胺领域沉浸式体验，以增强戈登儿茶酚胺研究会议（GRC-CA）的经验。这将使学生和博士后更好地为官方GRC的智力要求方面做好准备，GRC将在本周晚些时候由资深同事指导。戈登会议促进科学交流并激发新的合作。戈登儿茶酚胺研究会议（GRC-CA）于1973年首次举行，从那时起每两年举行一次。成功的儿茶酚胺研究要求学生掌握大脑行为问题，包括神经生物学，神经解剖学，神经学，药理学，分子生物学，遗传学和行为神经科学。2009年儿茶酚胺研究生研究研讨会预计将有55名研究生和博士后参加。该研讨会将于2009年8月8日至9日在缅因州比德福德举行。第一个晚上包括一个简短的欢迎招待会，然后是海报会议。会议将侧重于儿茶酚胺传递的细胞和分子方面以及脑回路中的儿茶酚胺，并将重点介绍GRC-CA会议将讨论的主题，以便更好地为与会者做好准备。组委会由各种各样的学生和博士后组成，其中约50%是女性。口头报告将由学生和博士后研究员独家提供。

The goal of this Graduate Research Seminar on Catecholamines is to enhance the Gordon Research Conference on Catecholamines (GRC-CA) experience for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows by providing two days of immersion in the field of Catecholamines prior to the GRC-CA meeting. This will better prepare students and postdoctoral fellows for the intellectually demanding aspects of the official GRC, which is guided by senior colleagues later in the week. Gordon Conferences enable scientific exchange and spark new collaborations. The Gordon Research Conference on Catecholamines (GRC-CA) was first held in 1973 and has been held every two years since that time. Successful catecholamine research requires students to acquire a strong grasp of brain-behavior issues encompassing neurobiology, neuroanatomy, neurology, pharmacology, molecular biology, genetics, and behavioral neuroscience. The 2009 Graduate Research Seminar on Catecholamines has an expected participation of about 55 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The seminar will be held in Biddeford, Maine on August 8-9, 2009. The first evening includes a brief welcoming reception followed by a poster session. The meeting will be focused on cellular and molecular aspects of catecholamine transmission as well as catecholamines in brain circuitry and will highlight topics that will be discussed in the GRC-CA meeting in order to better prepare the participants. The organizing committee is comprised of a diverse population of students and postdoctoral fellows and is about 50% female. Oral presentations will be given exclusively by students and postdoctoral fellows.
