International Symposium on Neural Regeneration

 描述(由申请者提供)：第十六届神经再生国际研讨会(ISNR)计划于2015年11月30日至12月4日在加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫的Asilomar会议中心举行。从1985年开始，每两年在阿西洛马举行一次类似的研讨会。自1987年以来，美国国立卫生研究院一直是研讨会的共同主办单位。克雷格·H·尼尔森基金会(Craig H.Neilsen Foundation)已经为2015年的会议捐赠了资金，支持申请已经或将提交给瘫痪的美国退伍军人协会、里克·汉森研究所(Rick Hansen Institute)和其他几个支持神经再生或脊髓损伤研究的私人基金会。这次会议的主要目的是介绍神经再生方面的前沿研究，特别是在最近取得显著进展的领域。第二个目的是营造一种既刺激又有利于所有与会者自由交流思想的气氛。更长远的计划是继续每隔一年在同一地点举行这些研讨会，并改变连续研讨会的计划，以实现对再生生物学的广泛报道。ISNR已经建立起来，定期举办活动，学生和国际公认的神经再生领域的专家都有很高的参与率。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Sixteenth International Symposium on Neural Regeneration (ISNR) is planned for November 30- December 4, 2015 at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California. Similar symposia have been held every two years at Asilomar beginning in 1985. NIH has continuously co-sponsored the symposia since 1987. The Craig H. Neilsen Foundation has already donated funds for the 2015 meeting and applications for support have been or will be submitted to the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Rick Hansen Institute and several other private foundations that support neural regeneration or spinal cord injury research. The primary purpose of this meeting is to present cutting- edge research in neural regeneration, especially in areas where notable recent progress has been made. A secondary purpose is to foster an atmosphere that is both stimulating and conducive to a free interchange of ideas among all conference attendees. The longer-range plan is to continue to hold these symposia on alternate years at the same site, and to vary the programs of successive symposia so that broad coverage of regeneration biology is achieved. The ISNR have become established, regularly occurring events with high attendance by both students and internationally recognized experts in the field of neural regeneration.
