DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Abstract): The synapse serves as the basic signaling unit of the nervous system, and synaptic transmission is relevant to most neurological diseases as well as to mental illness, neuropharmacology, learning, and memory. Although the concept of the synapse has been with us for a century, recent years have seen unparalleled progress in our understanding of synapses, spawned by new molecular and biophysical technologies. These new approaches have helped to refocus the interests of neuroscientists on the basic topic of electrical and chemical signaling between excitable cells. The convergence of these new approaches has created a need for forums for the exchange of ideas between researchers from diverse disciplines that have been drawn to this topic. The Gordon Conference on Synaptic Transmission helps to fill this need. The meeting will be held under the immensely successful and popular format of the Gordon Conferences. The insular setting, close contact, and relaxed atmosphere of Gordon Conferences encourages discussion and exchange of idea between researchers, and promotes contact between speakers and attendees, including a diverse group of students, post-docs, and faculty. The proposal is for support for this event. The meeting has been organized into eight sessions, which focus either on general aspects of synapses, or on the role of synaptic function in particular neural systems. The sessions are connected not only through the theme of the synapse, but also through the use of cutting-edge patch clamping and imaging techniques. The 28 speakers and 8 discussion leaders are at the forefront of research in their field and will give in-depth presentations on complex emerging issues. A Plenary Lecture by Dr. Charles F. Stevens of the Salk Institute will set the stage for the sessions designed to explore the relation between biophysics, cell biology, and the functioning of neural circuits. The meeting will thus generate a thorough discussion while maintaining a clear focus on synaptic transmission.

描述（申请人的摘要）：突触充当基本信号传导 神经系统的单位，突触传递与大多数 神经系统疾病以及精神疾病、神经药理学、 学习、记忆。尽管突触的概念已经存在了很长时间 一个世纪以来，近年来我们对 突触，由新的分子和生物物理技术产生。这些新 方法有助于将神经科学家的兴趣重新集中在基础知识上 可兴奋细胞之间的电和化学信号传导主题。这 这些新方法的融合产生了对论坛的需求 来自不同学科的研究人员之间的思想交流 被这个话题吸引了。戈登突触传递会议有助于 满足这个需求。本次会议将在非常成功和 戈登会议的流行形式。与世隔绝的环境，亲密的接触， 戈登会议轻松的氛围鼓励讨论和交流 研究人员之间的想法，并促进演讲者和 与会者，包括各种学生、博士后和教师。 该提案是为了支持本次活动。会议已组织为 八场会议，要么侧重于突触的一般方面，要么侧重于 突触功能在特定神经系统中的作用。会议是 连接不仅通过突触的主题，还通过使用 尖端膜片钳和成像技术。 28位发言者和8位 讨论领导者处于其领域研究的最前沿，并且将 对复杂的新问题进行深入的介绍。全体演讲 索尔克研究所的查尔斯·F·史蒂文斯博士将为 旨在探索生物物理学、细胞生物学和生物物理学之间关系的课程 神经回路的功能。因此，这次会议将产生彻底的 讨论，同时保持对突触传递的明确关注。
