Symposium on Comparative Aspects of the Development, Maturation and Sensescence of Neuroendocrine Systems, December 27-30, 1987, New Orleans, LA

在美国动物学家协会年会上（新奥尔良，1987年12月27-28日）将举行为期一天半的研讨会，讨论动物神经内分泌系统的发育、成熟和衰老。尽管对神经内分泌系统衰老的研究还处于早期阶段，但对这一现象的研究已经以惊人的速度加速。本次研讨会的参与者包括在各自研究领域做出重大贡献的资深研究人员和年轻科学家。他们的作用将是总结和评价在其专业领域的衰老研究取得的进展，为发育和衰老的研究提出新的模型，并为未来的研究指明新的方向。

A one and one-half day symposium will be held at the annual meeting of the American Society of Zoologists (New Orleans, December 27-28, 1987) to discuss the development, maturation and senescence of neuroendocrine systems in animals. Although the study of the senescence of neuroendocrine systems is in its early stages, research into this phenomena has accelerated at an amazing pace. The participants in this symposium include established senior investigators and younger scientists who have made significant contributions to their field of study. Their role will be to summarize and evaluate the progress that has been made in studies on aging in their area of expertise, to suggest new models for the study of development and senescence, and to chart new directions for future research.
