项目摘要

Project Summary: This proposal requests funds to support the 10th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Neuroethology, to be held August 6 - August 11, 2023 at Mount Snow, West Dover Vermont, USA. Funds received from the NIH will be used solely to defray the travel and registration costs incurred by students, postdocs, and other invited speakers, with preference being given to early career scientists, women, and members of under-represented groups in STEM. The GRC will be preceded by a two day Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) organized by a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow along with invited mentors that are leaders in the field. The GRS offers graduate students and postdocs an opportunity to present their current research and to build a sense of community within their field prior to attending the GRC. Together, the GRC and GRS provide unique opportunities for networking and collaboration. Central to the BRAIN initiative is a growing appreciation that the neural circuit dynamics that underlie complex behaviors vary strikingly based on context, and hence studies of natural behaviors in diverse animals are critical for a meaningful understanding of the neural basis of behavior. Recent cutting-edge methodologies and computational approaches in neuroethology are revealing how features of individual neurons (e.g. biochemistry, connectivity) impact circuit function, and how recent history, homeostatic mechanisms, and energetics shape neural circuit output and hence behavioral performance. The 2023 GRC program encompasses a multidisciplinary approach to neural circuit computations. The speakers are applying new technologies in diverse animals to link genes, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology of cells to emergent circuit properties. Animals experience varying and unpredictable sensory environments and themselves have variable experiences and internal states – all of which impact neuron and circuit properties. Neural circuits have evolved homeostatic mechanisms to buffer variability as well as diverse forms of plasticity to tune themselves to meet the ongoing needs of the animals. The resulting circuit configurations influence neural coding and the abilities of animals to perform adaptive behaviors in complex, real world environments.

项目概要：该提案请求资金支持第十届戈登神经行为学研究会议（GRC），于 2023 年 8 月 6 日至 8 月 11 日在美国佛蒙特州西多佛尔雪山举行，资金来自 NIH。仅用于支付学生、博士后和其他受邀者产生的旅行和注册费用演讲者，优先考虑早期职业科学家、女性和代表性不足的成员在 GRC 之前，将举办由 GRC 组织的为期两天的研究生研究研讨会 (GRS)。研究生和博士后研究员以及受邀导师都是该领域的领导者。为研究生和博士后提供机会展示他们当前的研究并建立一种意识在参加 GRC 之前，GRC 和 GRS 共同提供独特的服务。建立联系和协作的机会。 BRAIN 计划的核心是越来越多地认识到复杂的神经回路动力学行为因环境而异，因此对不同动物自然行为的研究对于有意义地理解行为的神经基础至关重要。神经行为学中的计算方法正在揭示单个神经元的特征（例如，生物化学、连通性）影响回路功能，以及最近的历史、稳态机制和能量塑造神经回路输出，从而塑造 2023 年 GRC 计划。涵盖了神经电路计算的多学科方法。演讲者正在应用新的方法。在不同动物中将细胞的基因、生物化学、解剖学和生理学与新兴的联系起来的技术动物会经历变化且不可预测的感官环境，而它们本身也有这种特性。可变的经历和内部状态——所有这些都会影响神经和神经回路的特性。已经进化出稳态机制来缓冲变异性以及多种形式的可塑性来调整以满足动物的持续需求所产生的电路配置会影响神经。编码以及动物在复杂的现实世界环境中执行适应性行为的能力。
