Project Summary/Abstract This R13 originated through discussions with investigators in the fields of neurostimulation and neuroplasticity at the Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI). In 2017, we held an R13-funded pilot workshop that combined research in neural stimulation with new insight into the molecular understanding of neural plasticity and regeneration. The workshop received a strong, positive response by participants and interest in further catalysts of working collaboration. Thus, in 2019, we fostered relationship development and crossover opportunities among attendees via a blitz session wherein newly formed (i.e., established at the 2019 Workshop) collaborative teams competed for two $5K mini grants that supported travel to and from each other’s institutions. In 2021, our R13-funded workshop went 100% virtual due to COVID-19; however, this did not diminish the Workshop’s impact. With over eighty attendees, many new collaborations were forged, and projects conceived. Given the overwhelmingly positive feedback, we will host the 4th Patricia Levy Zusman International Workshop on Neuroregeneration (Zusman Workshop) on March 7th-10th, 2023. It will focus on the intersection of electrical activity, brain connectomics and molecular neural plasticity. Our specific aims are to: 1) formulate new ideas to fill the gap between physiology and functional-based brain stimulation technologies and the molecular and cellular understanding of innate neuronal plasticity; 2) integrate promising trainees into plenary sessions; and 3) ensure trainees participate in substantial discussions and interactions with faculty members. The 2023 Workshop will be held at HMRI, which is part of the Texas Medical Center (TMC; a one-of-a-kind medical and research hub that fosters cross-institutional collaboration, creativity, and innovation) and is in Houston Texas (one of the United States’ most diverse cities). A key aspect of the Zusman Workshop is the active inclusion and participation of trainees, particularly women and under-represented minorities. We will encourage their participation via travel scholarships and active promotion and recruitment throughout the TMC. Also, the Workshop seeks to promote the voices of graduate and postdoctoral trainees. As such, it will include a trainee poster session as well as a session dedicated to trainee oral presentations (given by travel awardees). Further, goal-oriented breakout sessions, led by senior/early-stage investigators and selected trainees, will foster discussion and promote cross- training and collaboration among participants. Overall, this workshop is distinct from established physiology conferences and dedicated neural regeneration conferences in several ways. It is: 1) highly focused on the gap between molecular regeneration and electrophysiology/stimulation, 2) concept driven by clinicians and experimentalists currently problem solving in human therapy, and 3) focused on the establishment of cross training and expertise development in graduate, post-graduate, and clinical fellows. The 2023 Zusman Workshop will ignite innovative collaborations and spur novel multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative, transdisciplinary methods, technologies, and treatments to modulate performance in the damaged nervous system.

项目摘要/摘要 该R13源于与神经刺激和神经塑性领域的研究者的讨论 在休斯顿卫理公会研究所（HMRI）。 2017年，我们举办了一个由R13资助的飞行员研讨会 神经刺激的联合研究以及对神经刺激的分子理解的新见解 和再生。研讨会得到了参与者的强烈，积极的回应，并有兴趣进一步 工作协作的催化剂。在2019年，我们促进了关系发展和跨界 与会者通过闪电战会议之间的机会，该会议新成立（即在2019年研讨会上建立） 协作团队竞争了两项5K $ 5K的迷你赠款，这些赠款支持往返于彼此的机构的旅行。 在2021年，由于Covid-19，我们的R13资助的研讨会的数字为100％。但是，这并没有减少 研讨会的影响。有80多名与会者，遗忘了许多新的合作，并构思了项目。 鉴于压倒性的积极反馈，我们将举办第四届Patricia Levy Zusman International Workshop 在2023年3月7日至10日在神经变化（Zusman Workshop）上。它将集中于电气 活性，脑连接和分子神经塑性。我们的具体目的是：1）提出新想法 填补生理学和基于功能的大脑刺激技术以及分子和 对先天神经元可塑性的细胞理解； 2）综合承诺学员参加全体会议； 3） 确保受训者参与与教职员工的大量讨论和互动。 2023车间 将于德克萨斯医疗中心（TMC；一个独一无二的医疗与研究中心）举行的HMRI举行 这促进了跨机构的合作，创造力和创新），并在德克萨斯州休斯敦（联合国之一） 州最多样化的城市）。 Zusman研讨会的关键方面是积极的包容和参与 学员，尤其是妇女和代表不足的少数民族。我们将鼓励他们通过旅行参与 整个TMC的奖学金和积极晋升和招聘。此外，研讨会旨在促进 毕业生和博士后学员的声音。因此，它将包括学员海报会议以及 专门针对学员口头演讲的会议（由旅行获奖者提供）。此外，以目标为导向的突破 由高级/早期调查员和选定的学员领导的会议将促进讨论并促进交叉 参与者之间的培训和协作。总体而言，该研讨会与已建立的生理学不同 会议和专门的神经再生会议以几种方式。是：1）高度专注于差距 在分子再生和电生理/刺激之间，2）由临床医生和 实验者目前在人类治疗中解决问题，3）专注于建立交叉 研究生，研究生和临床研究员的培训和专业知识发展。 2023年Zusman研讨会 将点燃创新的合作，并刺激新颖的多学科团队，以发展创新的跨学科 方法，技术和治疗方法以调节受损神经系统的性能。
