项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This proposal seeks partial support for the 2023 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) & Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Cerebellum. The GRC will take place over 6 days accommodating up to 200 participants whereas the GRS will take place over 2 days immediately prior to the GRC, it is open only to the trainees and it is run exclusively by students and postdoctoral fellows. The GRS is scheduled for 8/5/23-8/6/23 and the GRC will be right after on 8/6/23-8/11/23 at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, USA, about 140 miles from Boston. This conference brings together a diverse group, from established investigators to trainees from around the world; the GRC is considered the preeminent forum devoted to the cerebellar research. The cerebellum is now thought to control motor as well as cognitive behavior. Accordingly, there is striking evidence that cerebellar dysfunction causes a wide range of movement disorders such as ataxia, dystonia and tremor, but also a growing list of non-motor conditions including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia. The centrality of cerebellar function, embedded in dozens of brain pathways, raises exciting questions about its potential as a therapeutic target. At this meeting, we will engage into a transverse dialog across levels of analyses and approaches, incorporating molecular biology, physiology and pathophysiology, development and behavior, from action through cognition, in order to build a novel integrated framework for understanding cerebellar function. Towards this, the scientific motivation of the 2023 Cerebellum GRC is to harness unique concepts and technologies from different disciplines to address challenging questions. With 42 speakers (50% females; 38% junior scientists; 10% minorities; remarkably, all accepted our invitation within 48hrs), we designed each session to tackle an unresolved problem, with experts to discuss neuroanatomy, developmental genetics, electrophysiology, computation, disease mechanisms and therapy development. Ideas from speakers and participants will converge to answer each burning question. This integrated approach to discussing the cerebellum will invite lively and collegial participation from students, postdocs and faculty from all disciplines, in every session. The GRS and GRC will each host a world renown Keynote speaker. In addition to the talks, poster sessions will provide a platform for attendees to present their unpublished work to a broader audience. We will also have a “Power Hour” to continue our efforts in promoting all forms of diversity in cerebellar science and an informal session to educate participants at all career levels on grantsmanship and strategies for writing successful grant applicants, with both sessions serving to strengthen our community. The overall theme of GRC Cerebellum 2023 will exploit the breadth and depth of the field to usher in the next generation of scientists. We are dedicated to fostering the future of women and underrepresented minorities.

项目摘要/摘要该建议寻求对2023年戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究的部分支持小脑上的研讨会（GRS）。 GRC将在6天内进行最多200名参与者 GRS将在GRC之前2天内进行，但它仅向培训开放，并且由学生和博士后研究员专门运行。 GRS计划为8/5/23-8/6/23和GRC 将在美国缅因州刘易斯顿的贝茨学院8/6/23-8/11/23之后，距离波士顿约140英里。这次会议汇集了一个潜水团体，从成熟的调查员到来自周围的学员世界; GRC被认为是专门研究小脑研究的杰出论坛。小脑现在被认为可以控制运动和认知行为。据此，有惊人的证据表明小脑功能障碍引起多种运动障碍，例如共济失调，肌张力障碍和震颤，但也是一个不断增长的非运动状况清单，包括自闭症谱系障碍，注意力缺陷多动障碍，和精神分裂症。小脑功能的中心性嵌入了数十个大脑通路中，这引起了令人兴奋的关于其作为治疗靶标的潜力的问题。在这次会议上，我们将参与横向对话在分析和方法的层次中，增加了分子生物学，生理学和病理生理学，从行动到认知的发展和行为，以建立一个新颖的综合框架了解小脑功能。为此，2023年小脑GRC的科学动机是利用来自不同学科的独特概念和技术来解决挑战问题。有42 演讲者（女性50％； 38％的初级科学家； 10％的少数民族；显着，所有人都接受了我们的邀请 48小时），我们设计了每个课程，以解决一个尚未解决的问题，专家讨论神经解剖学，发育遗传学，电生理学，计算，疾病机制和治疗发展。演讲者和参与者的想法将融合以回答每个燃烧的问题。这种综合方法讨论小脑将邀请学生，博士后和教职从所有学科中，在每个课程中。 GRS和GRC每个人都将主持世界知名的主题演讲者。在除了会谈外，海报会议将为与会者提供一个平台，以向他们展示未出版的工作更广泛的听众。我们还将有一个“力量时光”来继续我们促进各种多样性的努力在小脑科学和非正式会议上，以教育所有职业级别的参与者授予技巧和撰写成功的赠款申请人的策略，两次会议都可以加强我们的社区。 GRC Cerebellum 2023的总体主题将利用该领域的宽度和深度来引入下一个一代科学家。我们致力于促进妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的未来。
