This project supports primarily young investigators from the USA, such as graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and assistant professors, to attend the 15th International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) in Berlin, Germany, in July, 2024. The ICN is the official meeting of the International Society for Neuroethology. Neuroethology is a branch of neuroscience focused on the neural mechanisms underlying natural behavior. Research in this multidisciplinary field seeks to bridge the gap between neural mechanisms and behavior in the context of evolutionary processes. The complexity of this task necessitates combining various levels of analysis, from molecular and genetic to computational, across invertebrate and vertebrate species. By emphasizing comparisons between behavioral adaptations and neural mechanisms across species, neuroethologists can exploit natural solutions to biological problems to investigate the brain–behavior relationship. This comparative approach facilitates the identification of common brain organization principles as well as detection mechanisms that enhance behavioral performance, which can subsequently be implemented computationally or technologically. The inclusive scientific nature of neuroethology and the relatively small size of the ICN provide a unique opportunity for cross-fertilization among different research approaches that are often viewed as separate realms at large conferences. In addition, neuroethology is an ideal discipline for identifying animal models with specializations that may facilitate future scientific breakthroughs.This is the first time since a highly successful meeting in 1989 that the ICN will take place in Berlin, Germany. To ensure that the ICN is successful, the Local Organizing Committee has secured the Henry Ford Building, belonging to the Freie Universität Berlin, which has a large lecture hall and ample additional space that is suitable for this meeting. The Program Committee, which consists of a diverse team of researchers, is committed to promoting the unique neuroethological approach and the highly interactive and diverse nature of the International Society for Neuroethology. As the major scientific meeting of this Society, the ICN provides a critical venue for international students and scientists at different professional ranks to meet informally and discuss research, theory, and techniques in neuroethology. Its comparative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative focus makes the ICN an essential scientific platform for sharing novel insights into brain function and behavior across the animal kingdom. Previous neuroethological research has been integral for fundamental discoveries in neuroscience and revolutionary technologies. The main goal of this meeting is to disseminate and discuss new scientific ideas and data in the field of neuroethology. The conference program promotes this theme through plenary sessions, symposia, poster sessions, and workshops.This project is funded jointly by the Behavioral and the Neural Systems Clusters in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems of the Directorate for Biological Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持美国的主要年轻研究人员，例如研究生，博士后研究人员和助理教授，参加了2024年7月在德国柏林举行的第15届国际神经伦理学大会（ICN）。ICN是国际神经运动学会的官方会议。神经人体体体学是神经科学的一个分支，专注于神经科学的自然行为。该多学科领域的研究试图在进化过程中弥合神经元机制和行为之间的差距。该任务的复杂性必然结合了各种分析，从分子和遗传到计算，跨脊椎动物和脊椎动物物种。通过强调行为适应和神经障碍者之间的比较，可以探索生物学问题的自然解决方案，以研究脑 - 行为关系。这种比较方法托管了共同大脑组织原理的识别以及提高行为绩效的检测机制，随后可以在计算或技术上实施。神经义学的包容性科学性质和ICN的相对小规模为不同的研究方法提供了独特的交叉利用机会，而不同的研究方法通常被视为大型会议的独立领域。此外，Neurothology是识别具有专业化的动物模型的理想学科，这可能会促进未来的科学突破。这是自1989年在德国柏林举行的ICN非常成功的会议以来，这是第一次。为了确保ICN成功，地方组织委员会获得了属于弗雷伊大学柏林的亨利·福特大楼，该大楼有一个大型的演讲厅和适合本次会议的额外空间。该计划委员会由一组研究人员组成，致力于促进国际神经障碍学会的独特神经伦理学方法以及高度互动性和潜水员的性质。作为该社会的主要科学会议，ICN为不同专业人士的国际学生和科学家提供了一个关键的场所，以非正式地满足和讨论研究，理论和神经障碍技术。它的比较，跨学科和协作的重点使ICN成为分享对整个动物王国大脑功能和行为的新见解的基本科学平台。以前的神经道路学研究是神经科学和革命技术的基本发现不可或缺的一部分。这次会议的主要目标是在神经障碍学领域传播和讨论新的科学思想和数据。会议计划通过全体会议，研讨会，海报会议和讲习班来促进这一主题。该项目由行为和神经系统群体共同资助。在生物科学局的综合有机系统部门的部门中，该奖项奖的综合有机化系统奖。该奖项均表现了NSF的统治者，反映了通过评估师的支持者的构成师的构成群体，这是对范围的构成依据。
