Partial Support for Annual Clinical Neuroscience and Society Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：这些会议的主要目标是发展和交流关于临床神经科学新发展的伦理、法律和社会影响的想法。这些问题包括功能神经成像、行为遗传学、分子神经生物学及其在理解正常和异常大脑功能方面的应用。更具体地说，每次会议将：(1)召集领先的临床神经科学家以及生物伦理学、法律和社会方面的专家，以确定神经科学和社会的交叉点上的问题；(2)为每个问题组织知识库，指出什么是相关的，什么是已知的，什么是未知的；(3)促进研究人员和临床医生之间的双向思想交流；(4)通过制作会议视频并在线发布，并在同行评审的档案文献中就临床神经伦理学的关键问题共同撰写一篇文章，在会议之外传播这些演讲和交流的结果。最先进的翻译和临床神经科学将与其更广泛的社会影响的分析配对，面向包括实验室和临床科学家在内的受众。我们预计至少有一半的观众将是研究生、研究员和职业生涯早期的科学家，并将为这些人提供指导和海报演示的机会，以及其他会议活动。 公共卫生相关性：这一系列会议将集中讨论临床神经科学最新进展的伦理、法律和社会影响，目的是将最先进的翻译和临床神经科学与其更广泛的社会影响分析相结合。对这些更广泛问题的认识对于指导基础研究和转化性研究走向最负责任和最有益的结果至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of these meetings is the development and exchange of ideas concerning the ethical, legal and societal implications of new developments in clinical neuroscience. These include issues arising from functional neuroimaging, behavioral genetics, molecular neurobiology and their applications to understanding normal and abnormal brain function. More specifically, each conference will: (1) bring leading clinical neuroscientists together with experts on bioethics, law and society to identify issues at the intersection of neuroscience and society; (2) organize the knowledge base for each issue, noting what is relevant, what is known and what is not known; (3) foster bidirectional exchange of ideas between researchers and clinicians; (4) disseminate the results of these presentations and exchanges beyond the conference by creating videos of the sessions to post online and by contributing a collaboratively written article on a key issue in clinical neuroethics to the peer-reviewed archival literature. State-of-the-art translational and clinical neuroscience will be paired with analyses of their broader societal impact, for an audience including laboratory and clinical scientists. We anticipate at least half of the audience will be graduate students, fellows and early- career scientists, and will offer these individuals the opportunity for mentoring and poster presentations in addition to other conference activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This conference series will focus on the ethical, legal and social implications of recent advances in clinical neuroscience, with the objective of integrating state-of-the-art translational and clinical neuroscience with analyses of their broader societal impact. Awareness of these broader issues is essential for guiding basic and translational research toward the most responsible and beneficial outcomes.
