项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The basal ganglia are a richly interconnected set of forebrain, diencephalic and mesencephalic nuclei that control movement and thought. Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, dystonia, Tourette's syndrome and schizophrenia are widely viewed as disorders of the basal ganglia. The growing awareness of their clinical importance and the rapid expansion of experimental tools available for their study have led to an explosion in basal ganglia research in the last decade. In spite of the explosion of work in this area, there is only one meeting devoted to basal ganglia research: the triennial meeting of the International Basal Ganglia Society, which is generally held outside of the U.S. Thus, there is a compelling need for a more frequent, domestic meeting that will provide a forum for mapping the present and future of basal ganglia research. The proposed Gordon Research Conference (GRC) meeting brings together leaders in the field to critically discuss emerging topics in the field and to identify new directions for research. The inaugural Basal Ganglia GRC meeting will be held February 2-7, 2014 in Ventura, California and will recur biennially. The well-tested GRC format creates a unique opportunity for students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty to gain a deeper understanding of fundamental questions facing the basal ganglia field and to build cross-cutting collaborations that could lead to breakthroughs. Enrollment is expected to be 200. The NIH is being asked to help cover the registration costs for 25 early career investigators. These investigators will be chosen from the invited speakers and those with outstanding poster abstracts.

描述（由申请人提供）：基底神经节是一组紧密相连的前脑、间脑和中脑核，控制着运动和思维。帕金森病、亨廷顿舞蹈病、肌张力障碍、抽动秽语综合征和精神分裂症被广泛视为基底神经节疾病。人们对其临床重要性的日益认识以及可用于其研究的实验工具的迅速扩展导致了过去十年基底神经节研究的爆炸式增长。尽管这一领域的工作呈爆炸式增长，但只有一个专门针对基底神经节研究的会议：每三年一次的国际基底神经节协会会议，该会议通常在美国境外举行。因此，迫切需要更多的研究频繁的国内会议将为绘制基底神经节研究的现状和未来提供一个论坛。拟议的戈登研究会议（GRC）会议汇集了该领域的领导者，批判性地讨论该领域的新兴主题并确定新的研究方向。首届 Basal Ganglia GRC 会议将于 2014 年 2 月 2 日至 7 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行，每两年举行一次。经过充分测试的 GRC 格式为学生、博士后研究员和教师创造了一个独特的机会，让他们更深入地了解基底神经节领域面临的基本问题，并建立可能带来突破的跨领域合作。预计注册人数为 200 人。NIH 被要求帮助支付 25 名早期职业研究人员的注册费用。这些研究者将从受邀演讲者和具有优秀海报摘要的人中选出。
