DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the third Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Neurobiology of Cognition and for its associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for trainees. The driving force behind the GRC is the rapid pace of convergent findings in molecular, cellular circuit and systems Neuroscience, augmented by technical developments in cell-targeting, imaging, computing and brain-machine interfaces. As a result, there are rapidly evolving descriptions of neuronal circuits and dynamics, neurophysiological processes and computational principles that underpin cognitive functions. The overarching goal of this GRC is to promote communication and collaboration across relevant levels of analysis and among empirical scientists, theoreticians and technical development specialists, emphasizing the most recent findings. The associated GRS, held just prior to the GRC, is designed to provide opportunities for doctoral and post-doctoral trainees to communicate their most recent findings and perspectives, and to prepare them for more in-depth participation in the parent GRC that immediately follows. Along with recent findings in traditional "core" areas, and a keynote on the presidential BRAIN initiative (below), formal sessions will explore several new themes, including: 1) the neuroanatomical and 2) coordination of cognitive circuits in the brain, 3) motor cognition and brain-computer interfaces, 4) music and language, and 5) learning and plasticity. The program is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together behavioral, neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques in humans and non-human animals with computational approaches that explicate empirical findings and construct realistic models to represent the developing picture of cognitive operations and guide future experimentation. The program also underscores novel, state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical approaches that promise to define fundamental principles of cognition, and to extend these to improved treatment of brain dysfunction. The format of the meeting promotes intensive interactions among investigators and trainees from different perspectives and analytic levels, and in particular, between experimentalists and theorists.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求对第三届戈登研究会议（GRC）进行部分支持，以了解认知神经生物学及其相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。 GRC背后的推动力是分子，细胞回路和系统神经科学中收敛性发现的快速速度，这会随细胞靶向，成像，计算和脑机界面的技术发展增强。结果，对基于认知功能的神经元电路和动力学，神经生理过程和计算原理有迅速发展的描述。该GRC的总体目标是促进相关分析层面以及经验科学家，理论家和技术发展专家的沟通和协作，强调了最新的发现。在GRC之前举行的相关GRS旨在为博士和博士后学员提供传达其最新发现和观点的机会，并为他们做好准备，以便在紧随其后的父母GRC中进行更深入的参与。 除了最新的传统“核心”领域的发现，以及关于总统大脑倡议的主题演讲（下图），正式会议还将探索几个新主题，包括：1）神经解剖学和2）大脑中认知电路的协调，3）3）运动认知和脑部计算机互动，4）音乐和语言，以及5）学习和5）。该计划是高度跨学科的，将人类和非人类动物的行为，神经影像学和电生理技术汇总在一起，采用计算方法来阐明经验发现并构建现实模型，以代表认知操作的发展和指导未来的实验。该计划还强调了有望定义认知基本原理的新颖，最先进的实验和理论方法，并将其扩展到改善脑功能障碍的治疗方法。会议的格式从不同的角度和分析水平，尤其是实验者和理论家之间促进了研究人员和学员之间的密集互动。
