DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The planned conference on Neurobiology of Drosophila will convene a group of junior and senior scientists to discuss the latest advances in the neurobiology research that are being made in the highly successful model system the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. This proposal seeks support for the 2011 conference, which is the 14th biennial international meeting in this series. This meeting focuses on advances made using the combined power of genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, electrophysiology, imaging, and behavioral analysis to address fundamental issues in neurobiology. The topics covered will range from i) Sensory systems: ii) Behavior, brain function & its evolution; iii) Neurological disease models & cellular mechanisms; iv) Neural circuits - development, evolution and function; v) Synaptic transmission, development and plasticity; vi) Neural development & evolution; and vii) Technological innovations & applications. By vote of the previous participants, the meeting will remain of moderate size (430 participants) and will have no parallel sessions so as to facilitate discussion, exchange of ideas and techniques, and to promote new collaborations in this rapidly-evolving field. All applicants will be encouraged to submit an abstract and the majority of participants will present a talk or poster. Speakers will be chosen by session leaders and meeting organizers from the most timely and interesting abstracts submitted a few months in advance of the conference: this will ensure that late-breaking science is covered in all of the talks. In the event that the conference is oversubscribed, participants will be chosen to include at least one representative from each participating laboratory. This conference has an excellent track record for highlighting the work of younger investigators and women. To encourage participation by junior investigators, a special lecture is presented by a graduate student who has written the best Ph.D. thesis since the previous meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This Neurobiology of Drosophila conference focuses on advances made using the combined power of genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, electrophysiology, imaging, and behavioral analysis to address fundamental issues in neurobiology using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. A driving principle of the entire field is that the lowly fruit fly, while seeming to have little in common with humans, shares many of the same genes, molecules and neural wiring -albeit far simpler - with vertebrate animals. Building on one hundred years of research in fly genetics, the fly neurobiology field is a burgeoning field of endeavor with many laboratories around the world making significant advances in the field. Understanding how these systems work in Drosophila has enormous relevance to our efforts to elucidate how these things function in higher animals, with consequences including how we think about neurological disease, brain evolution and other major themes of research in humans. Many of the research techniques that are developed for use in the fly have considerable utility in research into nervous system function in vertebrates and mammals. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum to bring together a diverse group of scientists working in different areas of the field of fly neurobiology. The meeting will be of moderate size and will have no parallel sessions so as to facilitate discussion, exchange of ideas and techniques, and to promote new collaborations in this rapidly evolving field. The scientific organizers are elected by vote of the previous participants, thus ensuring a fresh perspective on the scientific exchange. All applicants are encouraged to submit an abstract and the majority of participants will present a talk or poster. Speakers will be chosen by session leaders and the meeting organizers from the most timely and interesting abstracts submitted a few months in advance of the conference, ensuring that late-breaking science is covered in all of the talks.

描述（由申请人提供）：果蝇神经生物学计划会议将召集一群初级和高级科学家，讨论在非常成功的模型系统中，果蝇果蝇Melanogaster在神经生物学研究中的最新进展。该提案寻求对2011年会议的支持，这是本系列中第14届双年展国际会议。这次会议的重点是利用遗传学，分子生物学，生物化学，细胞生物学，电生理学，成像和行为分析来解决神经生物学基本问题的进步。所涵盖的主题范围从i）感官系统：ii）行为，大脑功能及其演变； iii）神经疾病模型和细胞机制； iv）神经回路 - 发展，进化和功能； v）突触传播，发育和可塑性； vi）神经发展与进化；和VII）技术创新和应用。通过以前的参与者的投票，会议将保持中等规模（430名参与者），并且将没有平行的会议，以促进讨论，​​思想和技术的交流，并在这个迅速发展的领域中促进新的合作。将鼓励所有申请人提交摘要，大多数参与者将发表演讲或海报。会议领导者和会议的组织者将从会议前几个月提交的最及时，最有趣的摘要中与组织者选择演讲者：这将确保所有演讲中都涵盖了后期的科学。如果会议超额认购，将选择参与者包括每个参与实验室的至少一名代表。这次会议具有出色的记录，以突出年轻的调查员和妇女的工作。为了鼓励初级调查人员的参与，由写最好的博士学位的研究生进行了特殊的演讲。自上次会议以来的论文。 公共卫生相关性：果蝇会议的这种神经生物学着重于使用遗传学，分子生物学，生物化学，细胞生物学，电生理学，想象和行为分析来解决神经生物学基本问题的进步，使用模型有机体有机体果蝇梅拉纳加斯特。整个领域的一个驾驶原则是，低果蝇似乎与人类几乎没有共同点，但与脊椎动物动物共享许多相同的基因，分子和神经接线 - 但要简单得多。在蝇遗传学的一百年研究的基础上，苍蝇神经生物学领域是一个新兴的努力领域，世界各地的许多实验室在该领域都取得了重大进步。了解这些系统如何在果蝇中起作用，这与我们阐明这些事物在上等动物中的作用的努力具有巨大的相关性，其中包括我们如何看待神经疾病，脑进化和其他人类研究的其他主要研究主题。用于飞行的许多研究技术在脊椎动物和哺乳动物的神经系统功能方面具有相当大的实用性。会议的目的是提供一个论坛，以将在蝇神经生物学领域的不同领域工作的一群科学家汇集在一起​​。会议的规模将是中等的，不会进行平行的会议，以促进讨论，​​思想和技术的交流，并在这个迅速发展的领域中促进新的合作。科学组织者通过以前的参与者的投票选出，从而确保对科学交流的新看法。鼓励所有申请人提交摘要，大多数参与者将提出演讲或海报。会议领导者和会议组织者将从会议前几个月提交的最及时，最有趣的摘要中选出演讲者，以确保所有演讲中都涉及后期的科学。
