A workshop will be held to present and discuss data relevant to the question of how early nervous systems evolved. Specialists in various disciplines working with a range of primitive organisms will attend. Three major areas of the nervous system will be examined. (1) Excitability--the presence and properties of voltage-gated ion channels. (2) Intercellular communication-- the methods used by cells to communicate with one another. Intercellular communication in very primitive organisms may be the forerunner of synaptic transmission in higher nervous systems. (3) Sensory transduction--the ability of cells and, in higher animals, specialized sensory receptors to transduce environmental stimuli into useful cellular events. The workshop will last 4 days and consist of talks by invited experts, poster sessions for presentations by other participants and organized discussions "lead" by recognized experts.

将举办一次讲习班，介绍和讨论与以下方面有关的数据： 早期神经系统是如何进化的 专家 在不同的学科中， 有机体将出席。 神经系统的三个主要区域 将被审查。 (1)兴奋性--存在和性质 电压门控离子通道。 (2)细胞间通讯 细胞之间的通讯方式 在非常原始的生物体中，细胞间的通讯可能是 高级神经突触传递的先导 系统. (3)感觉传导-细胞的能力， 高等动物，专门的感觉受体来进行传导 环境刺激转化为有用的细胞活动。 讲习班 将持续4天，包括特邀专家的演讲，海报 为其他与会者介绍情况举办的会议， 由公认的专家“领导”讨论。
