Neuropeptides: Synthesis, Release, Action and Evolution at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Zoologist, December 27-31, 1991. Atlanta, GA

建议于1991年12月27日至31日在美国动物学家学会（ASZ）年会上召开为期一天的“神经肽：合成、释放、作用和进化”研讨会，由比较生理学和生物化学学部主办，比较内分泌学学部联合主办。研讨会旨在为研究多种生物的比较生物学家提供一些新的见解和方法，以阐明神经肽的作用模式及其在调节生理过程中所起的作用。主题将包括神经肽家族的进化和作用，神经肽合成的遗传方法，神经肽的加工和释放（包括释放位点的进化），神经肽受体的构象和调节，神经肽的神经生理和行为作用。将讨论无脊椎动物和脊椎动物模型系统。10位演讲者既有资深的研究者，也有年轻的研究者。研讨会的重点将由组织者总结并发表在《美国动物学家》杂志上

Proposed is a one day symposium on "Neuropeptides: Synthesis, Release, Action and Evolution" at the annual meeting of the American Society of Zoologist (ASZ), December 27-31, 1991, sponsored by the Division of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry and co-sponsored by the Division of Comparative Endocrinology. The Symposium is designed to bring to comparative biologists who work with a diverse array of organisms, some of the new insights and approaches now being used to elucidate the mode of action of neuropeptides and the roles that they play in the regulation of physiological processes. The topics will include the evolution and roles of neuropeptide families, genetic approaches to neuropeptide synthesis, neuropeptide processing and release (including evolution of release sites), conformation and regulation of neuropeptide receptors, and neurophysiological and behavioral actions of neuropeptides. Both invertebrate and vertebrate model systems will be discussed. The 10 speakers include both established and young investigators. The highlights of the Symposium will be summarized by the organizers and published in the American Zoologist.//
