University of Texas at Austin Learning & Memory Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：UT奥斯汀学习与记忆会议资助项目摘要/摘要目前，没有定期安排的神经科学会议集中在与学习和记忆以及相关疾病有关的广泛问题。我们的目标是发起这样一个会议由得克萨斯大学奥斯汀学习和记忆中心主办。学习和记忆的神经生物学是多学科的，相关的研究领域包括分子生物学，遗传学，生理学，心理学，物理学和计算机科学。此外，它是从不同层次的分析，包括分子，细胞，系统，认知和人类接近。因此，有必要为该领域的神经科学家提供一个收集、分享成果和讨论该领域新技术和新发展的机会。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校学习与记忆中心的教师代表了国际知名和成熟的高级研究人员以及该领域一些最聪明的年轻教师。这个重点研究中心是德克萨斯大学神经科学研究所的一部分，该研究所拥有大约70名普通神经科学教师。因此，我们认为，在得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的神经科学气候是举办这样一个会议的理想场所。 公共卫生相关性：数百种疾病影响神经系统，特别是那些影响认知，学习和记忆的疾病，侵蚀了我们人类的本质，给社会带来了巨大的社会和经济负担。对学习和记忆机制的基础神经科学研究为这些疾病的新疗法和治疗方法的进展奠定了必要的知识基础。因此，促进学习与记忆奥斯汀会议等机会至关重要，该领域的神经科学家可以收集，分享成果，并讨论该领域的新技术和发展。 免责声明：请注意，以下评论是由审查员在研究部分会议之前准备的，并且以基本上未经编辑的形式提供。 虽然审查人员有机会根据小组讨论情况更新或修订其书面评价，但不能保证在会议讨论之后更新了个人评论。 因此，这些评论可能并不完全反映小组讨论结束时单个评审员的最终意见或小组的最终多数意见。因此，讨论的简历和摘要是评审员在会议上实际认为关键的最后一句话。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): UT Austin Learning & Memory conference grant Project Summary/Abstract Currently, there is no regularly schedule neuroscience meeting focused on broad issues related to learning and memory and related diseases. Our goal is to initiate such a conference hosted by The University of Texas at Austin Center for Learning and Memory. The neurobiology of learning and memory is multidisciplinary, with relevant areas of research including molecular biology, genetics, physiology, psychology, physics and computer science. In addition, it is approached from varying levels of analysis including molecular, cellular, systems, cognitive and human. It is therefore essential to promote an opportunity for neuroscientists in the field to gather, share results, and discuss new techniques and developments in the field. The faculty at the Center for Learning and Memory at The University of Texas at Austin represents internationally known and established senior researchers as well as some of the brightest up and coming junior faculty in the field. This focused research center is part of The University of Texas Institute for Neuroscience, which embodies some 70 general neuroscience faculty. Thus, we believe that the neuroscience climate at The University of Texas at Austin represents an ideal venue for hosting such a meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: UT Austin Learning & Memory conference grant Project Narrative Hundreds of disorders affect the nervous system and those that affect cognition, learning and memory, in particular, erode the very essence of our humanity and place a tremendous social and economic burden on society. Basic neuroscience research into the mechanisms underlying learning and memory creates the foundation of knowledge necessary for progress towards new therapies and cures for these disorders. It is therefore essential to promote opportunities, such as the Austin Conference on Learning & Memory, for neuroscientists in the field to gather, share results, and discuss new techniques and developments in the field. Disclaimer: Please note that the following critiques were prepared by the reviewers prior to the Study Section meeting and are provided in an essentially unedited form. While there is opportunity for the reviewers to update or revise their written evaluation, based upon the group's discussion, there is no guarantee that individual critiques have been updated subsequent to the discussion at the meeting. Therefore, the critiques may not fully reflect the final opinions of the individual reviewers at the close of group discussion or the final majority opinion of the group. Thus the Resume and Summary of Discussion is the final word on what the reviewers actually considered critical at the meeting.
