South East Nerve Net Conference

描述(由申请者提供)：这项资助是为了申请五年的 支持一年一度的东南亚神经网络会议。有两个基本的 会议目标：加强神经科学研究人员之间的交流 在这个国家的这个角落，并帮助培养学生。这是 美国东南部唯一的地区性普通神经科学会议 各州。对于东南部的神经学家来说，这是一种很好的手段 并形成合作。传统上，这次会议非常 以学生为导向，大多数演讲是第一次演讲， 学生们在大型会议上发表演讲。我们希望保持友好的格式 对于学生来说，这是一个足够大的会议，让他们有机会接触到 他们所在机构以外的科学家。会议地点轮流举行。 每年在东南部的不同地点之间。会议已经举行了 此前在佛罗里达州的三个地点举行：圣彼得堡的惠特尼实验室。 奥古斯丁、塔拉哈西佛罗里达州立大学和佛罗里达大学 在盖恩斯维尔。会议将于2002年3月在美国佐治亚州亚特兰大举行。 对整个东南部更中心的地点。希望这更多 中心位置将增加来自佐治亚州、田纳西州、北部的参与者 卡罗莱纳州、南卡罗来纳州和阿拉巴马州成为第一个真正的南方 东区神经网络会议。我们计划让会议继续轮流举行 在佛罗里达的三个地点和亚特兰大之间，除非 东南表示有兴趣主办这次会议。第十八届年会 将于2002年3月1日和2日举行。会议的一般形式为： 周五晚上，埃默里大学的托马斯·英塞尔博士将发表演讲， 随后举行了招待会。然后周六一整天都会有10分钟的演讲 海报，以公爵乔治·奥古斯丁博士的主旨演讲结束 之后，他参加了一次会议晚宴。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant is to request five years of support for the annual South East Nerve Net Conference. There are two basic goals of the meeting: to increase communication among neuroscience researchers in this corner of the country and to help in the training of students. This is the only regional general neuroscience conference in the Southeastern United States. It is an excellent means for neuroscientists in the South East to meet and form collaborations. The meeting has traditionally been very student-oriented, with the majority of talks being the first talks that students give at a major conference. We hope to preserve the friendly format for students while making this a large enough meeting to give them exposure to scientists outside of their own institutions. The venue for the meeting rotates between different locations in the South East each year. The meeting has previously been held at three locations in Florida: Whitney Laboratories in St. Augustine, Florida State University in Tallahassee, and University of Florida in Gainesville. In March of 2002, the meeting will be held in Atlanta GA, a site that is more central to the entire South East. It is hoped that this more central location will increase participation from Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama to make it the first truly South East-wide Nerve Net Conference. We plan to have the meeting continue to rotate between the three Florida sites and Atlanta unless other universities in the South East express an interest in hosting the meeting. The 18th Annual meeting will be held March 1 and 2, 2002. The general format of the meeting will be: Friday evening there will be a talk by Dr. Thomas Insel of Emory University, followed by a reception. Then all day Saturday there will be 10 minute talks and posters, ending with a keynote address by Dr. George Augustine of Duke University and followed by a conference dinner.
