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.

项目概要/摘要 这个 R13 源自与神经刺激和神经可塑性领域的研究人员的讨论 2017 年，我们在休斯顿卫理公会研究所 (HMRI) 举办了一次由 R13 资助的试点研讨会。 将神经刺激研究与神经可塑性分子理解的新见解相结合 研讨会得到了与会者的强烈、积极的回应和进一步的兴趣。 因此，2019 年，我们促进了关系发展和交叉。 通过新成立的闪电战会议（即在 2019 年研讨会上设立的）为与会者提供机会 合作团队竞相获得两笔 5,000 美元的小额赠款，以支持往返彼此机构的旅行。 2021 年，由于 COVID-19，我们的 R13 资助的研讨会实现了 100% 虚拟化；但这并没有减少 研讨会的影响力超过八十人，促成了许多新的合作，并构思了许多项目。 鉴于压倒性的积极反馈，我们将举办第四届 Patricia Levy Zusman 国际研讨会 神经再生（Zusman 研讨会）将于 2023 年 3 月 7 日至 10 日举行。它将重点关注电学的交叉点 我们的具体目标是：1）提出新的想法 填补了生理学和基于功能的脑刺激技术与分子和 对先天神经元可塑性的细胞理解；2) 将有前途的学员纳入全体会议；3) 确保学员参与与教员的实质性讨论和互动 2023 年研讨会。 将在 HMRI 举行，HMRI 是德克萨斯医学中心 (TMC；独一无二的医学和研究中心) 的一部分 促进跨机构合作、创造力和创新），位于德克萨斯州休斯顿（美国联合大学之一） 各州最多元化的城市）祖斯曼研讨会的一个关键方面是积极包容和参与。 受训人员，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，我们将鼓励他们通过旅行参与。 奖学金以及整个 TMC 的积极推广和招聘 此外，研讨会还致力于推广。 因此，它将包括实习生海报会议和实习生海报会议。 专门为学员进行口头演讲的会议（由旅行获奖者提供） 此外，以目标为导向的突破。 由高级/早期研究人员和选定的受训者主持的会议将促进讨论并促进跨领域研究 总体而言，本次研讨会与生理学不同。 会议和专门的神经再生会议有几个方面：1）高度关注差距。 分子再生和电生理学/刺激之间，2) 由 和 驱动的概念 实验学家目前正在解决人类治疗中的问题，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 年祖斯曼研讨会。 将激发创新合作并刺激新颖的多学科团队开发创新的跨学科 调节受损神经系统性能的方法、技术和治疗。
