项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Barrels meeting is the longest running (now in its 20th year) satellite meeting to the annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting. The meeting focuses on the anatomy, physiology and behavior of the rodent whisker-to-barrel system. The meeting serves as a catalyst for interactions between researchers in different laboratories and different scientific fields. Meeting attendance averages over 125 attendees annually with the majority being graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. This years meeting will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego - La Jolla campus's Sherwood Auditorium and the poster session will be held next door at the La Jolla Women's Club. The whisker- to-barrel pathway has become one of the most utilized model systems in Neuroscience for those interested in development, sensory coding and behavioral studies. The Barrels meeting is arranged around general themes which this year includes: the role of cortical inhibitory circuits, molecular development of the barrel system and synaptic plasticity in the barrel system. For each theme there will be three or four invited presentations (30 min) delivered by established researchers, followed by 4-6 shorter (15 min) talks by more junior researchers and graduate students. In addition there is a poster session (typically 50-60 posters are presented annually). This mix of long and short talks and poster presentations provides ample opportunity for new researchers to present their findings to an international audience of scientific peers. The Barrels meeting consistently encourages researchers to use the Barrels as a model system to explore behavior, development, sensory and motor function. Each year, the Barrels meeting invite's individuals from outside the "Barrels community" to present their research in order to expose the community to new and exciting developments. This year, for example, we have invited Ed Lein from the Allen Brain Sciences Institute to talk about the mouse genome. The Barrels meeting is held just prior to the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting which allows researchers to conveniently attend both meetings consecutively without having to make additional travel plans. The whisker-to-barrel system is one of the most widely utilized model systems in modern neuroscience and the Barrels Meeting provides a forum for investigators using different techniques and studying different aspects of the system to come together and interact in meaningful dialogue which is uncommon at larger more fragmented meetings. The Barrels Meeting is the longest running satellite meeting to the annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting, now in its 20th year. The meeting program is composed if long talks (30 min) by established researchers and shorter talks by more junior individuals (15 min) and a poster session.

描述（由申请人提供）：枪管会议是在年度神经科学会议上的卫星会议最长的卫星会议。会议的重点是啮齿动物晶须至管系统的解剖学，生理和行为。该会议是不同实验室和不同科学领域研究人员之间相互作用的催化剂。大多数人是研究生和博士后研究员，每年有125名与会者的会议。今年的会议将在圣地亚哥当代艺术博物馆举行 - 拉霍亚校园的舍伍德礼堂，海报会议将在隔壁的La Jolla妇女俱乐部举行。对于那些对开发，感觉编码和行为研究感兴趣的人，晶须至桶途径已成为神经科学中使用最多的模型系统之一。枪管会议围绕今年包括：皮质抑制回路的作用，枪管系统的分子发育以及枪管系统中突触可塑性的作用。对于每个主题，将由知名研究人员进行三到四个邀请的演讲（30分钟），然后由更多的初级研究人员和研究生缩短4-6个（15分钟）的会谈。此外，还有一个海报会话（通常每年介绍50-60个海报）。长时间和简短的演讲和海报演讲的混合为新研究人员提供了足够的机会，可以向国际科学同行观众展示他们的发现。枪管始终鼓励研究人员使用枪管作为模型系统来探索行为，发展，感觉和运动功能。每年，枪管会议邀请“桶社区”以外的人提出他们的研究，以使社区接触新的令人兴奋的发展。例如，今年，我们邀请了艾伦脑科学研究所的埃德·莱因（Ed Lein）谈论小鼠基因组。枪管会议在年度神经科学会议之前举行，该会议使研究人员可以方便地连续参加两次会议，而无需制定其他旅行计划。晶须到桶系统是现代神经科学中最广泛使用的模型系统之一，枪管会议为调查人员提供了一个论坛，以使用不同的技术并研究系统的不同方面，以在有意义的对话中融合并进行交互，这在更大的零散的会议上并不常见。枪管会议是今年第20年举行的年度神经科学会议最长的卫星会议。如果既定的研究人员进行了长时间的谈判（30分钟），那么会议计划将由更多的研究人员（15分钟）和海报会议组成。
