Symposium on Behavioral Neuromodulators: Cellular, Comparative and Evolutionary Patterns; 27-30 December, 1987,in New Orleans, LA.

这一行动是为了部分支持一个专题讨论会， 在美国动物学家协会的年会上。 研讨会涉及神经调质和科学家从 来自美国各地和其他国家的两个人将聚集在一起 讨论这个话题的重要方面。 将讨论以下问题： 1. 什么是神经调质？ 2. 调节剂是否具有独特的化学性质 3. 是否存在层级职能组织 在不同种类的神经调质中 4. 特定的调节剂是否有助于类似 行为功能超过或仅超过 短的，分类上的距离？ 5. 神经调质的作用 无脊椎动物的行为适用于 脊椎动物？ 哺乳动物？ 6. 是否有行为后果， 调节剂的定位和释放， 单个神经元传递的信号 7. 某些类别的调节剂是否与 特定机制（例如，某些离子通道或 细胞内信使）？ 8. 所有的行为都同样具有调节能力吗？ 集成神经系统计划很高兴能帮助 这次研讨会的支持。

This action is to give partial support to a symposium to be held at the annual meeting of the American Society of Zoologists. The symposium deals with neuromodulators and scientists from around the U.S. and two from other countries will come together to discuss important aspects of this topic. The following issues will be addressed: 1. What is a neuromodulator? 2. Do modulators have distinctive chemical properties 3. Is there a hierachichal functional organization among the various classes of neuromodulators? 4. Do particular modulators subserve similar behavioral functions over great, or only over short, taxonomic distance? 5. Are the lessons from neuromodulators in the behavior of invertebrates applicable to vertebrates? to mammals? 6. Are there behavioral consequences in the co localization and release of modulators and transmitters by single neurons? 7. Are certain classes of modulators associated with specific mechanisms (e.g., certain ion channels or intracellular messengers)? 8. Are all behaviors equally capable of modulation? The Integrative Neural Systems Program is pleased to aid in the support of this symposium.
