JAX Neurogenetics Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是为了支持2004年6月9日至12日在缅因州巴尔港杰克逊实验室（TJL）举行的“JAX神经遗传学会议”。研讨会的功能是为神经生物学领域的研究人员和学生提供一个论坛，这些研究直接影响或使用实验室小鼠作为遗传模型系统。实验室小鼠被广泛认为是遗传研究的首要实验生物，这些研究通常对人类神经系统疾病有直接的影响。会议将包括：人类（神经）遗传疾病的小鼠模型，神经基因组学（包括诱变和诱变程序和资源），疼痛感觉的复杂机制，神经疾病的复杂特征，神经退行性疾病中的蛋白质折叠以及眼部疾病小鼠模型的反向和正向遗传方法。本次会议的目的是将具有不同专业知识和经验的学生和知名研究人员聚集在一起，讨论他们的研究成果，确定共同研究兴趣的领域，并制定未来的方向。受邀演讲者将介绍背景，提出重要的科学问题或讨论他们自己在神经生物学主题领域的工作，这些领域直接影响或以其他方式使用实验室小鼠作为遗传模型系统。这些演讲之后通常会有几次15-20分钟的演讲，主要从提交的摘要中选择。将选择这些演示文稿来说明和检查概述中制定的更详细的原则。将有一个小鼠诊所，或神经突变小鼠展示，并对与感兴趣的特定模型相关的点进行描述性介绍。还将有一个信息学演示和两个海报会议。鼓励博士后和研究生参加，并在此申请中要求学生旅行资金。该会议自1994年以来每两年举行一次，在规模、重点和形式方面仍然是独特的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for support of the 2004 "JAX Neurogenetics Conference" to be held at The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) in Bar Harbor Maine on June 9-12. The function of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and students who work in areas of neurobiology that impact directly upon or use the laboratory mouse as a genetic model system. The laboratory mouse is widely considered the premiere experimental organism for genetic studies that have implications, often direct, for human neurological disorders. Sessions will include: mouse models of human (neurological) genetic disease, Neurogenomics (including mutagenesis and mutagenesis programs and resources), complex mechanisms of pain sensation, complex traits of neurological disease, protein folding in neurodegenerative disease and reverse and forward genetic approaches to mouse models of eye disease. The intent of this meeting is to bring students and established investigators with varying expertise and experience together to discuss their research findings, identify areas of common research interest and develop future directions. Invited speakers will present background, raise important scientific questions or discuss their own work in topic areas of neurobiology that impact directly on, or otherwise use the laboratory mouse as a genetic model system. These talks will often be followed by several presentations of 15-20 minutes each, to be chosen primarily from submitted abstracts. These presentations will be selected to illustrate and examine in more detail principles developed in the overviews. There will be one mouse clinic, or neurological mutant mouse display, with a descriptive presentation on points relevant to particular models of interest. There will also be one informatics demonstration and two poster sessions. Postdoctoral and graduate students are encouraged to attend, and funds for student travel are requested in this application. This meeting has been held every two years since 1994 and continues to be unique with respect to size, focus and format.
