The Gordon Research Conference on Neural Plasticity has been held in alternate years since 1977. We are requesting partial support for the Neural Plasticity Conference planned for July 18-23, 1999, at the Salve Regina University in Newport, RI. The Gordon Research Conferences were established to stimulate scientific interchange in an informal setting. interchange is promoted by the informal nature of the conference, by the large amount of time committed to question and answer periods in the scientific sessions, and by the many opportunities for discussion in other settings, such as meals, poster sessions and structured and unstructured social activities. The Gordon Research Conference rule prohibiting publication or citation of the meetings and presentations promotes open discussion of the latest results and current ideas. This format has been particularly useful for the Conference on Neural Plasticity, a highly interdisciplinary meeting in which the subject of modifiability of the nervous system is explored at molecular, cellular, systems, and computational levels. The 1999 Conference will have 9 scientific sessions, with a keynote talk by Dr. Rudiger Wehner, a scientist at the forefront of deciphering the properties of coronal coding underlying spatial navigation. The scientific sessions will cover a range of topics of current interest in Neural Plasticity, from dendritic integration to plasticity in the human brain. The speakers and session chairs are all world leaders in their fields. Full participation by conference attendees is encouraged in several ways. Afternoon poster sessions provide an opportunity for all interested participants to present and discuss their work. Bach scientific session will include, in addition to the scheduled speakers, 1 or 2 short talks by junior participants, selected from the submitted abstracts. Question and answer periods are generously scheduled. Social events permit new participants to meet speakers and chairs informally. Past participants have found these informal interactions to be the distinct advantage of the Gordon Conference, giving rise to a stimulating and productive meeting.

自1977年以来，戈登神经可塑性研究会议已在替代年份举行。我们要求对计划于1999年7月18日至23日在RI的Salve Regina University举行的神经可塑性会议进行部分支持。建立了戈登研究会议，以刺激非正式环境中的科学交换。会议的非正式性质，大量的时间在科学会议上提出质疑和回答时期，以及在其他环境中的许多讨论机会，例如餐点，海报会议以及结构化和非结构化的社交活动，从而促进了交汇处。禁止出版或引用会议和演讲的戈登研究会议规则促进了对最新结果和当前思想的公开讨论。这种格式对于神经可塑性会议特别有用，神经可塑性会议高度跨学科的会议，在该会议中，在分子，细胞，系统和计算水平上探索了神经系统可修改性的主题。 1999年的会议将举行9次科学会议，并由鲁迪格·韦纳（Rudiger Wehner）博士进行了主题演讲，他是一名科学家，他是破译空间导航基础冠状编码属性的最前沿。科学会议将涵盖从树突融合到人脑的可塑性，当前对神经可塑性感兴趣的主题。演讲者和会议椅都是他们领域的世界领导人。会议与会者的全面参与以多种方式鼓励。下午的海报会议为所有感兴趣的参与者提供了机会，可以介绍和讨论他们的工作。 Bach科学会议除了预定的演讲者外，还将包括1或2个初级参与者的简短谈话，从提交的摘要中选出。问答期是慷慨的。社交活动允许新参与者非正式会见演讲者和椅子。过去的参与者发现这些非正式互动是戈登会议的独特优势，引起了刺激性和富有成效的会议。
