2015 Glial Biology: Functional Interactions among Glia & Neurons GRC & GRS

 描述（由申请人提供）：神经胶质生物学的GRC已经运行了12年，被认为是神经胶质生物学的首要国际会议，并被广泛认为对神经科学中一个子领域的神经胶质生物学的新兴突出做出了重大贡献。会议的广泛目标是分享关于各种神经胶质细胞相互作用的前沿研究，与血管细胞和神经元2015年会议将特别强调神经胶质在功能性大脑发育中的作用，以及神经胶质细胞如何导致大脑发育疾病，如自闭症，Rett综合征，脑瘫等。还强调了小胶质细胞在发育和模型生物中的新作用，以研究胶质神经元的相互作用。36位发言人和9位讨论领导人承诺参加。这些代表了杰出的既定研究人员和新兴的年轻科学家的平衡组合。戈登神经胶质生物学研究研讨会将为研究生，博士后和早期职业科学家提供口头或海报演示的机会，这笔赠款将部分用于最大限度地提高学员的参与度。本次会议与NIH的使命相关，具有高度的健康相关性。指定的会议将讨论神经胶质细胞在发育性脑障碍，影响脑血管系统的疾病，神经退行性疾病和白色物质髓鞘疾病中的作用。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The GRC on Glial Biology is in its 12th year of operation and is considered the premier international meeting on glial biology and is widely attributed to having significantly contributed to the emerging prominence of glial biology of a subfield within Neuroscience. The broad goal of the meeting is to share cutting edge research on the interaction of the various glial cells with each other, with vascular cells and with neurons The 2015 meeting will have a particular emphasize on the role of glial in functional brain development, and as a consequence how glial cells contribute to diseases of brain development such as autism, Rett syndrome, cerebral palsy and others. Also emphasized is the emerging role of microglia in development and model organisms to study glial neuronal interactions. 36 speakers and 9 discussion leaders have committed to participate. These represent a balanced mixture of prominent established investigators and emerging young scientists. The Gordon Research Seminar on Glial Biology will be giving an opportunity to graduate students, postdocs and early career scientists to present either orally or in poster presentations, and this grant wil in parts, be used to maximize trainee participation. This meeting is relevant to the mission of NIH and has high health relevance. Designated sessions will discuss the role of glia in developmental brain disorders, in diseases affecting the brain vasculature, neurodegenerative diseases and white matter - myelin - disorders.
