2013 Catecholamines Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

描述(申请人提供)：2013年GRC/GRS儿茶酚胺研讨会将在佛蒙特州西多佛市的雪山度假村举行。2013年8月10日至16日。该会议每隔一年举行一次；它是探索儿茶酚胺领域新发展的理想论坛。这也是初级调查员和实习生在轻松的气氛中与资深调查员互动的绝佳机会。对最近会议的评价突显了这次会议通常对新兴科学家和老牌科学家产生的强烈影响。由于戈登会议组织分配的资金有限，我们要求从其他来源获得资金。我们希望，我们请求的结果使我们能够支持发言者和讨论领导人以及大量初级调查人员参加会议。会议包括罗伊·怀斯博士和苏珊·塞萨克博士的两次全体会议。初步计划包括大量初级科学家和妇女，计划的会议包括：1)儿茶酚胺与应激，2)儿茶酚胺与神经疾病，3)儿茶酚胺与物质滥用，4)儿茶酚胺能传递的突触调节，5)儿茶酚胺受体，6)儿茶酚胺功能的电路水平调节，7)经济决策，8)儿茶酚胺与认知，9)儿茶酚胺转运体。2013年戈登儿茶酚胺会议涵盖的主题与理解药物成瘾和各种神经和神经精神障碍的神经生物学基础高度相关，包括精神分裂症、情感障碍、躁郁症、强迫症和帕金森氏症。这个论坛将提供一个独特的机会来讨论儿茶酚胺系统如何有助于这些疾病的病理生理学和治疗方面的最新进展。与会者中有很大一部分是初级研究人员，相当一部分将是研究生和博士后，这一事实确保了这次会议可能会对未来几代神经科学家如何看待这些问题产生影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2013 GRC/GRS Seminar on Catecholamines will take place at Mount Snow Resort, in West Dover, Vermont. August 10 - 16, 2013. This conference is held every other year; it is an ideal forum for exploring new developments in the field of catecholamines. It is also an excellent opportunity for junior investigators and trainees o interact with established investigators in a relaxed atmosphere. The evaluations of recent conferences highlight the strong impact this meeting typically has on emerging as well as established scientists. As the funds allocated by the Gordon Conference organization are limited, we are requesting funding from other sources. We are hoping that the results of our requests enable us to support speakers and discussion leaders as well as a large number of junior investigators to participate in the meeting. The conference includes two plenary talks, by Dr. Roy Wise and Dr. Susan Sesack. The preliminary program includes a large number of junior scientists and women, and the sessions planned include: 1) Catecholamines and Stress, 2) Catecholamines and Neurological Disorders, 3) Catecholamines in Substance Abuse, 4) Synaptic Regulation of Catecholaminergic Transmission, 5) Catecholamines Receptors, 6) Circuit-level Regulation of Catecholamine Function, 7) Economic Decision Making, 8) Catecholamines and Cognition and 9) Catecholamines Transporters. The themes covered in the 2013 Gordon Conference on Catecholamines are highly relevant to understanding the neurobiological bases of drug addiction and a variety of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, affective disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, and Parkinson's disease. This forum will provide a unique opportunity to discuss recent advances in the understanding of how catecholamine systems may contribute to the pathophysiology and treatment of those conditions. The fact that a large proportion of the participants are junior investigators and a significant number will be graduate students and postdocs ensure that this conference may have an impact on how future generations of neuroscientists view these issues.
