 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "The Auditory System" Gordon Research Conference ("Auditory GRC") consisting of ~125-150 scientists of diverse expertise will convene on July 10-15, 2016, at Bates College, to discuss and debate new findings in hearing research and related fields, under the theme of "The Plastic and Dynamic Auditory System". The Auditory GRC is preceded by a smaller Gordon Research Seminar ("Auditory GRS", July 9-10) and will comprise of talks and posters by 40-50 investigators-in-training, thereby serving as a gateway to the GRC. Together the Auditory GRC & GRS offer a unique combination of features, including: breadth of research, cutting-edge emphasis, mingling of investigators from all ranks and diverse sub-fields and locales, and intimate size and extended discussion time, allowing for close and sustained interactions. Some of these features arise from unique qualities of the hearing research field and others from the Gordon Conferences' established nature. Since the 1920s, the GRC organization has supported meetings famous for their unfettered debate and discussion of emerging results. The program of the 2016 Auditory GRC emphasizes plasticity in the auditory system and the diverse ways in which the auditory system adapts to genetic, environmental, and developmental changes, and the reduction and restoration of acoustic signals in the system. Investigators will present new results in areas from genetics to central nervous system physiology and behavior. Topics include genetic regulation of inner ear epithelia, hair bundles, and echolocation, hair cell transduction and synaptic transmission, noise trauma at cochlear and systems levels, and neural encoding of sound location and speech. We have learned from experience to spread different model systems and technologies throughout the sessions, so that each session has something for everyone - encouraging unusually high attendance throughout the meeting and cross-fertilization across disciplines. The clinical importance of auditory research will be highlighted with presentations that consider the mechanisms underlying human disorders (e.g. noise trauma and aging) and translational efforts to fix them (e.g., hair cell regeneration, cochlear implant). For the Auditory GRS, talks are selected from registrants' submitted abstracts and anchored by a keynote address by an invited mentor-participant who is an assistant professor. Mentoring is an active component of the GRS - in addition to the keynote speaker, the GRC organizers (also senior investigators) are available for discussion, and a mentoring session, featuring a representative from NIDCD and other grant agencies, is planned.

 描述（由申请人提供）：“听觉系统”戈登研究会议（“听觉 GRC”）由大约 125-150 名具有不同专业知识的科学家组成，将于 2016 年 7 月 10 日至 15 日在贝茨学院召开，讨论和辩论新的听觉系统听力研究和相关领域的发现，以“可塑性和动态听觉系统”为主题，听觉 GRC 之前举办了一个较小的戈登研究研讨会（“听觉”）。 GRS”，7 月 9 日至 10 日），将由 40-50 名受训调查员进行演讲和海报组成，从而作为通往 GRC 的门户。听觉 GRC 和 GRS 共同提供了独特的功能组合，包括：研究的广泛性、前沿性的重点、来自各个级别、不同子领域和地点的研究人员的混合，以及亲密的规模和延长的讨论时间，允许密切和持续的互动，其中一些特征源于听力研究领域的独特品质。和其他人从戈登会议的既定性质来看，自 20 年代以来，GRC 组织一直支持以对新兴成果进行不受限制的辩论和讨论而闻名的会议。2016 年听觉 GRC 的计划强调听觉系统的可塑性以及听觉的多样化方式。系统适应遗传、环境和发育的变化，以及系统中声音信号的减少和恢复，研究人员将在从遗传学到中枢神经系统生理学和行为等领域展示新的成果。我们从经验中学到了在整个领域传播不同模型系统和技术的经验。听觉研究的临床重要性将通过考虑人类疾病（例如噪音创伤和疾病）潜在机制的演讲来强调。衰老）和修复这些问题的转化努力（例如，毛细胞再生、人工耳蜗）。对于听觉 GRS，演讲选自注册者提交的摘要，并由受邀导师兼助理教授进行主题演讲。指导是 GRS 的一个积极组成部分 - 除了主旨演讲者之外，GRC 组织者（也是高级调查员）也可以参与讨论，并举办指导会议，其中包括来自 NIDCD 和其他资助机构正在计划中。
