DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Neural Circuits and Plasticity (formerly Neural Plasticity) has been held in alternate years since 1977. We are requesting partial support for the June 26-July 1, 2005 meeting, and the 2007 and 2009 meetings, at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rl. The GRCs were established to stimulate scientific interchange in an informal setting. Interchange is promoted by the informal nature of the conference and by the large amount of time committed to questions during the sessions. The GRC 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 Circuits and Plasticity, a highly interdisciplinary meeting in which the formation, function, and plasticity of neural circuits is explored at the molecular, cellular, systems, and computational levels. The 2005 Conference will have 9 scientific sessions, with a keynote talk by Dr. Bert Sakmann, a Nobel Laureate and one of the most renowned scientists studying circuit function and plasticity. The scientific sessions will cover a range of topics of current interest in the field, from synaptogenesis to sensory coding. The speakers and session chairs are all either world leaders in their fields or up-and-coming junior investigators. Afternoon poster sessions provide an opportunity for all interested participants to present and discuss their work, and each session will include 1 or 2 short talks selected from the submitted abstracts. This format worked very well in previous years to promote young investigators. Question and answer periods are generously scheduled, and social events will permit new participants to meet speakers and session chairs informally. Past participants have found these informal interactions to be a highlight of the meeting, and an important source of scientific advancement for junior people. We are requesting support to fund the attendance of underrepresented groups in the field of Neural Circuit plasticity, including women and ethnic minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于神经回路和可塑性（以前称为神经可塑性）的戈登研究会议 (GRC) 自 1977 年以来每隔一年举行一次。我们请求对 2005 年 6 月 26 日至 7 月 1 日的会议提供部分支持，并且2007 年和 2009 年的会议在路易斯安那州纽波特的 Salve Regina 大学举行。 GRC 的建立是为了促进非正式环境中的科学交流。会议的非正式性质以及会议期间投入大量时间讨论问题促进了交流。 GRC 禁止出版或引用会议和演示文稿的规则促进了对最新结果和当前想法的公开讨论。这种形式对于神经回路和可塑性会议特别有用，这是一个高度跨学科的会议，其中在分子、细胞、系统和计算水平上探讨了神经回路的形成、功能和可塑性。 2005 年会议将举行 9 场科学会议，诺贝尔奖获得者、研究电路功能和可塑性的最著名科学家之一 Bert Sakmann 博士将发表主题演讲。科学会议将涵盖该领域当前感兴趣的一系列主题，从突触发生到感觉编码。演讲者和会议主席都是各自领域的世界领袖或崭露头角的初级研究人员。下午的海报会议为所有感兴趣的参与者提供了展示和讨论他们的工作的机会，每个会议将包括从提交的摘要中选出的 1 到 2 个简短的演讲。这种形式在前几年对于提拔年轻研究者非常有效。问答时间安排得很充足，社交活动将允许新参与者与演讲者和会议主席进行非正式会面。过去的与会者发现这些非正式的互动是会议的一大亮点，也是初级人员科学进步的重要源泉。我们请求支持，资助神经回路可塑性领域代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数民族。
