摘要 我们建议举行第四次《公约》应用问题国际会议 酒精中毒的神经影像(ICANA-4)。前三届国际航空航天局会议均于#年举行 2004年、2008年和2013年，康涅狄格州纽黑文吸引了来自大约100名领先调查人员 全球将重点关注与应用 一套动态演变的研究酒精使用的神经成像工具和方法 和酒精依赖。我们的国际航空运输协会会议引起了广泛关注，包括 发表在《美国医学会杂志》(JAMA)上的文章和酒精中毒： 临床和实验研究。拟议中的会议将是另一个开创性的会议 这一活动将把领先的成像专家聚集在一起，促进我们对 酒精中毒和酒精使用的神经学影响、发展和治疗。已建立 从事大脑成像其他领域工作的研究人员，以及那些已经在 与酒精中毒相关的领域，将召开会议，分享酒精中毒的方法学应用 并促进跨模式的协作。将作出特别努力，支持 研究实习生、研究员和新研究人员的出席和参与。 拟议的方案将利用以前会议的形式，并包括 在为期两天半的会议上，国际发言者名单。观众是 预计将包括来自世界各地的100-150名研究人员。对此的兴趣水平 第四次会议已经相当高，正如我们的发言者承诺和 美国国家航空航天局局长George Koob博士同意致开幕词 会议的最新进展。 拟议的会议日期为2019年7月19日至21日。 拟议议程包括5个主要议题。每个主题将包括对 用于研究特定局部区域的成像技术的多样性：(1)奖励学习 和习惯；(2)酒精中毒的压力和渴望；(3)炎症和酒精；(4)结构性 和酒精使用障碍中的功能连接；以及(5)药物成像。 会议将包括全体报告、讨论各种 用于研究酒精使用的成像技术(fMRI、MRS、PET/SPECT)、神经成像 临床前和临床研究，以及神经成像在发展中的应用 酒精依赖的治疗。

SUMMARY We propose holding the fourth iteration of the International Conference on Applications of Neuroimaging to Alcoholism (ICANA-4). Each of the prior three ICANA Conferences, held in New Haven, CT in 2004, 2008, and 2013, drew over 100 leading investigators from around the globe to focus on techniques, conceptual issues, and findings related to application of a dynamically evolving set of neuroimaging tools and approaches to the study of alcohol use and alcohol dependence. Our ICANA conferences have drawn broad attention, including publications in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. The proposed conference would be another seminal event that would draw leading imaging experts together to advance our knowledge about the neurological effects, development, and treatment of alcoholism and alcohol use. Established investigators who work in other areas of brain imaging, as well as those already working in alcoholism-related areas, will be convened to share methodological applications to alcoholism and foster collaboration across modalities. Special efforts will be made to support the attendance and participation of research trainees, fellows, and new investigators. The proposed program would utilize the format of the earlier conferences and include an international roster of speakers in a two-and-one-half day conference. The audience is expected to include 100-150 researchers from around the world. The interest level in this fourth meeting is already quite high, as indicated by our speaker commitments and by the agreement of Dr. George Koob, Director of NIAAA, to give the opening plenary presentation of the conference. The proposed meetings dates are July 19-21, 2019. The proposed agenda includes 5 main topics. Each topic will include discussion of the diversity of imaging techniques used to study the specific topical area: (1) Reward Learning and Habit; (2) Stress and Craving of Alcoholism; (3) Inflammation and Alcohol; (4) Structural and Functional Connectivity in Alcohol Use Disorder; and (5) Pharmacoimaging. The conference will include plenary presentations, sessions discussing the variety of imaging techniques (fMRI, MRS, PET/SPECT) used to study alcohol use, neuroimaging in preclinical and clinical studies, and the applications of neuroimaging to the development of treatments for alcohol dependence.
