The fourth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Neuroethology: Behavior, Evolution, and Neurobiology will be held August 10-15, 2008 at Magdalen College, Oxford, UK. The 2008 conference will focus on the evolution of neural circuits underlying behavior. It will also feature an innovative program, called "Neuroethology 2050", which is designed to enhance the participation and the experience of graduate students and post-docs attending the meeting. This conference will challenge accepted ideas about how neural circuits produce behavior. The topics to be discussed range from the origin of nervous systems to the use of animal models for studying distinctly human traits. The broader impact of the meeting is in the dissemination of ideas and the exposure that it will provide to young investigators. Unlike many other small, focused meetings, the GRC endeavors to substantially include younger scientists, women scientists and scientists belonging to historically under-represented groups. The 2008 Neuroethology GRC will include a Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar to enhance the experience of graduate students and post-docs attending the GRC. This will take place on the two days preceding the main conference and will be chaired by a graduate student and two post-docs with assistance from the two faculty vice chairs of the GRC. The theme of this pre-meeting seminar is "Neuroethology 2050" and participants will discuss their vision of the field of Neuroethology in the year 2050. The goal is for this unique pre-conference to "break the ice" and encourage the next generation of investigators to participate fully in the week of discussions that will follow. The interdisciplinary nature of the Neuroethology field is of major long-term benefit to its participants in their role as academicians and University teachers. The PIs have a long history of dedication to training at several levels.

第四届戈登神经行为学研究会议 (GRC)：行为、进化和神经生物学将于 2008 年 8 月 10 日至 15 日在英国牛津莫德林学院举行。 2008 年的会议将重点关注行为背后的神经回路的进化。它还将推出一项名为“神经行为学2050”的创新计划，旨在增强参加会议的研究生和博士后的参与度和体验。本次会议将挑战关于神经回路如何产生行为的公认观点。讨论的主题范围从神经系统的起源到使用动物模型来研究人类的独特特征。这次会议更广泛的影响在于传播思想并为年轻研究人员提供机会。与许多其他小型、重点突出的会议不同，GRC 努力广泛吸收年轻科学家、女科学家和属于历史上代表性不足群体的科学家。 2008 年神经行为学 GRC 将包括戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会，以增强参加 GRC 的研究生和博士后的经验。该会议将在主会议前两天举行，由一名研究生和两名博士后主持，并由 GRC 两名教员副主席协助。本次会前研讨会的主题是“神经行为学2050”，与会者将讨论他们对2050年神经行为学领域的愿景。这次独特的会前研讨会的目标是“打破僵局”并鼓励下一代调查人员充分参与接下来一周的讨论。神经行为学领域的跨学科性质对其作为院士和大学教师的参与者具有重大的长期利益。 PI 长期以来致力于多个级别的培训。
