DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application we are requesting support for the eighth Gordon Conference on Myelin to be held in Ventura California, USA between February 12th and 17th 2006. Our understanding of the biology of myelinating cells in the nervous system continues to expand rapidly. Since the last meeting in Italy in 2004 there has been a significant move towards utilizing the insights gained from the basic biology of myelinating cells in the development and understanding of the potential for myelin repair in the adult CNS. The realization that the adult CNS contains populations of stem cells and neural precursors capable of generating new myelin has propelled studies on the genesis and differentiation of myelinating cells to the forefront of biomedical research. The program for the 8th Gordon Conference on Myelin "Development and Diseases of Myelin" is designed to capitalize on these advances and further accelerate research in this area. We have attempted to reduce overlap with speakers of previous meetings and expand the areas that will be covered. The health of the field of myelin biology research depends on a dynamic group of investigators and this is driven largely by promoting young, newly independent scientists. We have made a concerted effort to invite investigators at the junior faculty level to be speakers at this meeting. The more senior investigators have been encouraged to act as session chairs and provide overviews of the field. This will allow the young investigators a unique opportunity to present their work, and become known to their scientific peers. Few other venues offer such an opportunity. We are also committed to fostering trainees in the field of myelin biology and to specifically encourage their participation we will offer stipends for travel and registration as funds permit. All attendees will be expected to contribute to an oral presentation or present a poster. We believe that poster sessions are a key element in fostering productive interactions between scientists with different expertise. To ensure extensive interaction at the poster sessions and between researchers at different levels of their career and with different expertise we will designate a group of senior scientist to act as "poster judges" and award a series of small prizes to those posters considered to be exceptional. In keeping with the goals of the Gordon Conference such interactions will provide impetus and direction to the field of myelin biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们要求在2006年2月12日至17日之间在美国加利福尼亚举行的第八届髓鞘会议上支持第八届髓鞘会议。我们对神经系统中髓细胞细胞生物学的理解持续迅速扩展。 自2004年在意大利举行的最后一次会议以来，从髓鞘细胞的基本生物学中获得的见解做出了重大措施，从而在成人CNS中对髓磷脂修复的潜力的发展和理解。 成年中枢神经系统含有干细胞和能够产生新髓磷脂的神经前体的群体的认识，已经推动了有关髓细胞的起源和分化的研究，这是生物医学研究的最前沿。 第八届Gordon“髓鞘发展与疾病”的第八届戈登会议计划旨在利用这些进步，并进一步加速该领域的研究。 我们试图减少与先前会议的演讲者的重叠，并扩大将要涵盖的领域。 髓磷脂生物学研究领域的健康取决于一个动态的研究者，这主要是通过促进年轻，新独立的科学家而驱动的。 我们已经齐心协力邀请初级教师的调查人员成为这次会议的演讲者。 鼓励更多的高级调查人员充当会议主席，并提供该领域的概述。 这将使年轻的调查人员有一个独特的机会来展示他们的作品，并成为科学同行的知名度。 其他场所很少有这样的机会。 我们还致力于培养髓磷脂生物学领域的学员，并特别鼓励他们的参与，我们将在资金许可证中提供旅行和注册的津贴。 所有与会者都将为口头介绍或介绍海报做出贡献。 我们认为，海报会议是促进具有不同专业知识的科学家之间生产互动的关键要素。 为了确保在海报会议上以及在职业生涯不同级别的研究人员之间进行广泛的互动，并以不同的专业知识，我们将指定一群高级科学家担任“海报法官”，并为那些被认为是例外的海报颁发一系列小奖品。 为了符合戈登会议的目标，这种互动将为髓磷脂生物学领域提供动力和方向。
