项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY We have organized a new Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the topic of the hypothalamus, a highly complex brain structure found in all vertebrates. The hypothalamus is crucial for vertebrate survival and is composed of numerous small populations of neurons that collectively regulate a variety of important biological functions. Dysregulation of the hypothalamus is linked to a number of disease states including neuropsychiatric disorders, disorders of sleep, eating and metabolism, growth/development dysfunction, infertility, and more. Because of its importance for organismal survival, the hypothalamus is the subject of extensive investigation across multiple disciplines, using diverse techniques and in a variety of model organisms. In recent years, scientists have made surprising advances in understanding the structure and function of the hypothalamus that have generated many new questions and areas of investigation that require cross-disciplinary approaches. The ultimate goal of this conference is to bring scientists together from a variety of disciplines to share and discuss novel insights, experimental approaches, and therapeutic potential of recent findings. Because the complexity of the hypothalamus is enormous, scientists study the hypothalamus at multiple levels of investigation. Our program will have sessions on the role of the hypothalamus in a variety of health-related behaviors including ingestive behaviors, sleep and circadian rhythms, and social interactions. Other sessions will focus on hypothalamic plasticity, dissection of hypothalamic cell types, hypothalamic regulation of the neuroendocrine system, and communication between the hypothalamus and organismal physiology. Taken together, this GRC will allow for extraordinary interaction between scientists who study the hypothalamus across many biological disciplines. As for all GRCs, the guiding principle of this meeting will be the presentation of new, unpublished results with free, unencumbered discussion. We will emphasize participation of scientists at all career levels, especially PhD students, postdocs, and junior faculty, with a particular focus on promoting diversity and inclusion.

项目概要我们组织了一次新的戈登研究会议 (GRC)，主题是下丘脑，这是一个高度所有脊椎动物中都存在复杂的大脑结构。下丘脑对于脊椎动物的生存至关重要，由许多小群神经元组成，共同调节各种重要的生物功能。下丘脑的失调与许多疾病状态有关，包括神经精神疾病疾病、睡眠、饮食和代谢障碍、生长/发育功能障碍、不孕症等。由于其对生物体生存的重要性，下丘脑成为广泛研究的对象跨越多个学科，使用不同的技术并在各种模型生物中进行。最近几年，科学家们在理解下丘脑的结构和功能方面取得了令人惊讶的进展产生了许多需要跨学科方法的新问题和研究领域。本次会议的最终目标是将来自不同学科的科学家聚集在一起分享和交流讨论最新发现的新颖见解、实验方法和治疗潜力。因为下丘脑的复杂性是巨大的，科学家们在多个层面上研究下丘脑调查。我们的计划将举办有关下丘脑在各种与健康相关的角色中的作用的会议行为包括摄入行为、睡眠和昼夜节律以及社交互动。其他会议将重点关注下丘脑可塑性、下丘脑细胞类型的解剖、下丘脑的调节神经内分泌系统，以及下丘脑和机体生理学之间的沟通。采取总之，这个 GRC 将允许研究下丘脑的科学家之间进行非凡的互动跨越许多生物学科。对于所有 GRC 来说，本次会议的指导原则是：展示新的、未发表的结果，并进行自由、不受阻碍的讨论。我们将强调参与各个职业级别的科学家，特别是博士生、博士后和初级教师，特别关注促进多样性和包容性。
