Meeting: Neurobiology of Stress Workshop 2012

这个关于压力神经生物学的研讨会将于6月12日至15日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行，汇集了研究压力-大脑相互作用和这些相互作用的基本神经生物学的研究人员（主要研究者和实习生）。近年来，应激神经生物学研究取得了重大进展。这些进步包括对支持应激反应和应激适应的神经系统、神经化学和细胞生物学的新理解。本次研讨会的主题和演讲者已经选定，涵盖了许多令人兴奋的新进展。研讨会将提供一个重要的论坛，在这里可以批判性地评估新的进展，并将其整合到活跃的基础应力研究人员的集体知识和观点中。此外，预计密集的科学交流将产生新的想法和合作，以支持未来的进步。这次会议将产生更广泛的重大影响。研究结果将在两份主要期刊上广泛发表。将开发评估工具，以确定发生科学交流的程度，评估所获得的科学知识和内容的价值，以及由此产生的任何合作或交流。这些多因素工具可以广泛分发给其他会议的组织者。最后，为受训者提供了多种参与科学项目的机会，包括招募女性和少数民族学生参加会议的具体计划。所要求的资金的很大一部分将用于资助功勋学员。这将有助于扩大多样性并鼓励受训者留在科学事业中，这对于产生新的想法和新的方法来解决困扰美国社会几十年的问题是很重要的。

This workshop on the Neurobiology of Stress, to be held in Philadelphia, PA June 12-15th, brings together researchers (principal investigators and trainees) who study stress-brain interactions and the basic neurobiology of these interactions. In recent years there have been significant advances in the neurobiology of stress research. Those advances include new understanding of the neurosystems, neurochemistry, and cellular biology that supports stress responses and stress adaptation. Session topics and speakers for this Workshop have been selected to cover many of those exciting new advances. The Workshop will provide an important forum where new advances can be critically evaluated and integrated into the collective knowledge and perspectives of active basic stress researchers. Moreover, it is expected that the intensive scientific exchange will generate new ideas and collaborations that support future advances. There are significant broader impacts that will emerge from this meeting. The results will be widely disseminated in two premier journals. Assessment tools will be developed to determine the extent to which scientific exchange occurred, to assess the value of the scientific knowledge and content acquired, and any resultant collaborations or exchanges. These multifactorial tools can be broadly disseminated to organizers of other conferences. Finally, multiple opportunities exist for trainees to become engaged in the scientific program, including a specific plan to recruit female and minority students to attend the meeting. A significant portion of the requested funds will be used to fund meritorious trainees. This will help expand diversity and encourage trainees to stay in science careers and this is important for generating new ideas and new approaches towards solving problems that have plagued American society for decades.
