DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a new Gordon Research Conference on Neurobiology of Cognition, to be held in Waterville, NH. The meeting series is planned to take place biennially; this proposal requests funds for partial support of the first meeting in 2010. The impetus for this meeting is the recent developments in Neuroscience that have begun to uncover the brain circuit basis of higher cognitive functions at the level of systems analysis, computational principles, and neurophysiological mechanisms. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to provide an informal forum with the highest quality for investigators from three fields (behavioral and circuit neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, and computational/theoretical neurobiology) to exchange ideas and data, and to foster collaboration and communication. The specific aims of this meeting will be to convene about 40 speakers and discussion leaders with a total of up to 200 participants for a four day/five night conference in a relatively isolated setting, with a format specially designed to foster informal discussions. The tentative program has eight sessions that address current issues on the brain mechanisms of working memory, decision making, selective attention, task rule and task switching, memory networks, large-scale brain circuit dynamics, the neural basis of fMRI signals, and circuit basis of cognitive deficits associated with mental illness. In addition, short talks and two poster sessions will permit all participants to contribute to these topics. The significance of this application is that our new and highly cross-disciplinary field urgently needs such a meeting, which will define and propel research in this important area of modern science. This meeting is highly relevant to healthcare, as progress in our understanding of the brain mechanisms of cognitive functions will directly affect our ability to treat cognitive deficits associated with mental disorders such as schizophrenia and ADHD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal is highly relevant to healthcare, as progress in our understanding of the brain mechanisms of cognitive functions will directly translate into novel and better treatments of cognitive deficits associated with mental disorders such as dysfunctions of working memory and decision making in schizophrenia, attention abnormalities in ADHD, and impairments of social cognition with autism.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔举行的有关认知神经生物学的新戈登研究会议。会议系列计划每两年举行；该提案要求资金在2010年首次会议上进行部分支持。该会议的动力是神经科学的最新发展，这些发展已开始在系统分析，计算原理和神经生理机制的水平上揭示较高认知功能的大脑电路基础。会议的广泛和长期目标是为来自三个领域（行为和电路神经生理学，认知神经科学以及计算/理论神经生物学）的研究人员提供一个非正式论坛，以交换思想和数据，并促进协作和交流。这次会议的具体目的是在相对孤立的环境中召集大约40名演讲者和讨论领导者，共有200名参与者参加四天/五个晚上的会议，并采用专门设计的格式来培养非正式的讨论。暂定计划有八个会议，可以解决有关工作记忆，决策，选择性关注，任务规则和任务切换，记忆网络，大规模脑电路动力学，fMRI信号的神经基础以及与精神疾病相关的认知缺陷的电路基础的当前问题。此外，简短的会谈和两个海报会议将使所有参与者都可以为这些主题做出贡献。该应用的意义在于，我们的新的，高度跨学科的领域迫切需要这样的会议，这将在现代科学的这一重要领域定义和推动研究。这次会议与医疗保健高度相关，因为我们对认知功能的大脑机制的进步将直接影响我们治疗与精神疾病（如精神分裂症和ADHD）相关的认知缺陷的能力。 公共卫生相关性：这项提案与医疗保健高度相关，因为我们对认知功能的大脑机制的进展将直接转化为与精神障碍相关的新颖和更好的治疗认知缺陷，例如，诸如Schizophrenia的工作记忆和决策功能障碍，诸如ADHD的注意力异常，以及对社会co症的注意力异常。
