项目摘要

Abstract The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in all aspects of cognition and behavior and has established roles in all forms of mental illness and substance use disorders. The PFC has been studied intensely over the past four decades. Interest in studies of the PFC in animal models has grown at a pace equal to that of human studies on the PFC. Surprisingly, no established meetings exist that focus on the PFC and bring together researchers using different animal models (non-human primates, rats, mice) and a variety of experimental approaches (e.g., lesions, pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, molecular tools, computational models). A new Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Frontal Cortex has been established to provide a forum for researchers interested in the PFC and related cortical areas (e.g., OFC). The GRC will convene in Ventura, CA in August 2022. It is our hope that financial support can be obtained from the NIH to support the meeting. Support from NIH will allow us to offset the attendance costs of our invited speakers and trainees, especially from underrepresented groups. We propose the following Aims: (1) To convene a diverse scientist workforce around fundamental questions in research on the frontal cortex. The conference will feature panels on fear/aversive and reward/appetitive learning, which to our knowledge have not been discussed together at other meetings, and comparative neuroanatomy, a topic that is crucial for relating preclinical findings to current research in human populations. (2) To unite a diverse scientist workforce around emerging technologies in frontal cortex research. Panels will discuss the use of powerful tools such as optogenetics, chemogenetics, and calcium imaging and how they can be used to link studies in mice and rats to findings from studies in humans and non-human primates. (3) To promote the development of women scientists, early-career researchers, and under-represented investigators in frontal cortex research. We will host a networking and mentoring PowerHourTM focused on negotiation across career stages.

抽象的前额叶皮层（PFC）参与认知和行为的各个方面，并在所有方面都发挥着作用。各种形式的精神疾病和药物滥用障碍。在过去的四年里，PFC 得到了深入的研究几十年。人们对动物模型中 PFC 研究的兴趣的增长速度与人类研究的速度相当 PFC。令人惊讶的是，没有既定会议专注于 PFC 并将研究人员聚集在一起使用不同的动物模型（非人类灵长类动物、大鼠、小鼠）和各种实验方法（例如，病变、药理学、解剖学、生理学、分子工具、计算模型）。新戈登研究额叶皮层会议（GRC）的成立是为了给对以下领域感兴趣的研究人员提供一个论坛： PFC 和相关皮质区域（例如 OFC）。 GRC 将于 2022 年 8 月在加利福尼亚州文图拉召开。这是我们的会议希望能够获得NIH的资金支持来支持本次会议。 NIH 的支持将使我们能够抵消我们邀请的演讲者和受训者的出席费用，特别是来自代表性不足的群体。我们提出以下目标：（1）围绕基本问题召集多元化的科学家队伍额叶皮层的研究。会议将以恐惧/厌恶和奖励/欲望为主题的小组讨论据我们所知，在其他会议上还没有一起讨论过学习，以及比较神经解剖学，一个对于将临床前研究结果与当前人群研究联系起来至关重要的主题。 (2) 围绕额叶皮层研究的新兴技术，团结多元化的科学家队伍。面板将讨论光遗传学、化学遗传学和钙成像等强大工具的使用以及它们如何发挥作用可用于将小鼠和大鼠的研究与人类和非人类灵长类动物的研究结果联系起来。 (3) 至促进女科学家、早期职业研究人员和代表性不足的研究人员的发展在额叶皮层研究中。我们将举办一次交流和指导 PowerHourTM，重点关注跨领域谈判职业阶段。
