This award will provide partial funding for a multi-day Friday Harbor Laboratory Centennial Symposium. The focus of the symposium is to summarize the important contributions that Gastropod mollucs have made to neuroscience research and to lay out ideas for future directions. Gastropods such as Tritonia, Aplysia, Helisoma, Helix, Lymnaea, Clione, Melibe, Hermissenda, and Pleurobranchaea have served as important model systems in neuroscience, in particular for studying motor pattern generation, learning, memory, development, ion channels and signal transduction. Leaders in this field are to be gathered together to create an opportunity to discuss in depth the directions Gastropod neuroscience should go in the future and plot courses to get it there.More than twenty leaders in Gastropod neuroscience research have agreed to speak at this Friday Harbor Laboratory Centennial Symposium (http://depts.washington.edu/fhl/events.html). The intimate setting will provide an excellent opportunity to reflect on the current and future state of the field. The speakers will be asked to begin their talks by summarizing the important advances that have been made using their model systems and to end by discussing which direction they think the field should go and what will be needed to get it there. Round table discussions will be held that unite the themes of the talks and address the questions of "Where does the science go from here?" and "What tools are needed to get there?" A discussion will also be held on the use of new common tools such as the Aplysia Genome Project and NeuronBank.org. Posters will provide an outlet for young researchers to discuss their projects.The meeting is seen as a way to promote cooperation in the field of Gastropod Neuroscience. Currently, there is no common venue for researchers in this field, yet there are many common issues that researchers face. The meeting will promote future research using Gastropod Molluscs by producing an accessible, innovative Wikipedia-style reference on Gastropod Neuroscience. It will also initiate a community web portal that will facilitate communication among researchers including job and meeting announcements.

该奖项将为为期多天的星期五港实验室百年纪念研讨会提供部分资金。 研讨会的重点是总结腹足类软体动物对神经科学研究所做出的重要贡献，并为未来的方向提出思路。 腹足动物如 Tritonia、Aplysia、Helisoma、Helix、Lymnaea、Clione、Melibe、Hermissenda 和 Pleurobranchaea 已成为神经科学中的重要模型系统，特别是在研究运动模式生成、学习、记忆、发育、离子通道和信号转导方面。该领域的领导者将齐聚一堂，创造机会深入讨论腹足动物神经科学未来的发展方向，并制定实现这一目标的路线。二十多位腹足动物神经科学研究领域的领导者同意在本周五港口发表演讲实验室百年研讨会（http://depts.washington.edu/fhl/events.html）。亲密的环境将为反思该领域的当前和未来状况提供绝佳的机会。演讲者将被要求通过总结使用他们的模型系统所取得的重要进展来开始他们的演讲，并通过讨论他们认为该领域应该朝哪个方向发展以及实现这一目标需要什么来结束。 将举行圆桌讨论，统一会谈主题并解决“科学从这里走向何方？”的问题。以及“需要什么工具才能到达那里？” 还将讨论如何使用新的通用工具，例如海兔基因组计划和 NeuronBank.org。海报将为年轻研究人员提供一个讨论他们的项目的机会。这次会议被视为促进腹足动物神经科学领域合作的一种方式。 目前，该领域的研究人员没有共同的场所，但研究人员面临许多共同的问题。该会议将通过制作一个易于理解、创新的维基百科风格的腹足动物神经科学参考文献，促进未来利用腹足动物软体动物的研究。它还将启动一个社区门户网站，以促进研究人员之间的沟通，包括工作和会议公告。
