DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Conference "The Cell Biology of the Neuron", to be held for the fifth time in July 2002 (Salve Regina University, Newport, Rl), has established itself as an important forum for discussing progress in the rapidly moving field of cellular neurobiology. The focus of the meeting is on cell biological aspects of neural function and the science discussed will be highly interdisciplinary, encompassing genetic, molecular, cellular, biophysical, structural, and behavioral approaches to understanding neural function. Research carried out in a variety of organisms ranging from C. elegans to humans will be represented. This year, the following areas will be covered: development and synaptogenesis, physiology of transmitter release, molecular targeting in axons and dendrites, vesicle traffic and membrane dynamics, receptors, transporters and channel biology, postsynaptic mechanisms and signaling mechanisms. The chosen speakers are among the most active in the field and are also articulate thinkers who should generate useful discussion by integrating their work and ideas with those in other fields. The format consists of 25 minute talks followed by a discussion of 10 minutes or more. The meeting roster contains a mixture of promising young scientists near the beginning of their careers and established scientists. Seven of the speakers are women and five are from outside the US. In addition, six to eight slots are being kept open to select speakers for short talks on exciting, late-breaking developments. Most participants (except speakers) will present posters on their work, ensuring maximum communication and exchange of ideas among participants. With its interdisciplinary focus on neural mechanisms, this conference is of special interest for understanding affective and behavioral disorders, mental health and drug addiction. The emphasis on neural development and plasticity has relevance for child health and development. The speakers include investigators who are specifically studying the molecular basis of neurological diseases and diseases of aging such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and other neurodegenerative diseases. The conference should be of great potential interest to the missions of institutes including NIMH, NINDS, NICHD, NIA, NIDA and NIAAA.

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登会议“神经元的细胞生物学”将于2002年7月第五次举行（Salve Regina University，Newport，RL），已确立自己是讨论细胞神经生物学快速发展领域进展的重要论坛。会议的重点是神经功能的细胞生物学方面，所讨论的科学将是高度跨学科的，包括遗传，分子，细胞，生物物理，结构和行为方法，以理解神经功能。将代表从秀丽隐杆线虫到人类的各种生物进行的研究。今年，将涵盖以下区域：发育和突触发生，发射机释放的生理学，轴突和树突中的分子靶向，囊泡交通和膜动力学，受体，转运蛋白和通道生物学，突触后机制和信号机制。所选的演讲者是该领域最活跃的人之一，也是表达的思想家，他们应该通过将其工作和思想与其他领域的人们整合在一起来进行有用的讨论。该格式包括25分钟的会谈，然后讨论10分钟或更长时间。会议阵容中包含了有前途的年轻科学家在职业生涯开始和建立科学家的混合物。其中七个演讲者是女性，五名来自美国以外。此外，六到八个插槽正在为精选的扬声器开放，以进行有关令人兴奋的后期发展的简短谈判。大多数参与者（演讲者除外）都会在其工作中介绍海报，以确保参与者之间的最大程度的交流和思想交流。该会议凭借其跨学科的关注，对了解情感和行为障碍，心理健康和药物成瘾具有特别的兴趣。对神经发育和可塑性的重视与儿童健康和发育有关。演讲者包括专门研究神经系统疾病和衰老疾病的分子基础的研究者，例如阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森氏病，以及其他神经退行性疾病。该会议应该引起NIMH，Ninds，Nichd，Nia，NIA，NIDA和NIAAA在内的机构任务的极大兴趣。
