Conference Meeting on December 27-30, 1991--Atlanta, GA Strategies for Analyzing Neuropeptide Systems

这个奖项是为参加1991年12月27日至30日在乔治亚州亚特兰大举行的美国动物学家协会年会上题为“分析神经肽系统的策略”研讨会的与会者提供一些旅费支持。研讨会的重点是与神经肽系统相关的细胞和分子方法。其目的是提供一个广泛的比较范围，并强调这些有价值的技术的应用，以满足出席本次会议的不同听众的具体需要。演讲后的圆桌讨论将用于评估和整合演讲者提出的研究策略。参与者代表了一群年轻的研究人员，他们直接活跃在研究中，并在这个快速发展的神经生物学领域建立了自己杰出的职业生涯。这次研讨会的论文集将发表在《美国动物学家》杂志上，因此，没有参加这次会议的科学家也可以获得，但他们将受益于对解决重要生物学问题的最新方法和技术的回顾。最后，这次研讨会将被用来测试在美国动物学家协会内形成一个多学科神经科学部门的可行性。

This award is to provide some travel support for the participants of symposium entitled "Strategies for Analyzing Neuropeptide Systems" to be held at the annual meeting of American Society of Zoologists, December 27th to 30th, 1991, in Atlanta, Georgia. The focus of the symposium is on cellular and molecular approaches associated with neuropeptide systems. The aim is to provide a broad comparative scope and stress the applications of these valuable techniques for the specific needs of the diverse audience that attends this meeting. A roundtable discussion following the presentations will be used to evaluate and integrate the research strategies presented by the speakers. The participants represent a group of young investigators who are directly active in the research and are establishing their own outstanding careers in this rapidly advancing area of neurobiology. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the American Zoologist and, thus, accessible to scientists that did not attend this meeting but would benefit from a review of the state-of-the-art approaches and techniques available to tackle important biological problems. Finally, this symposium will be used to test the feasibility of forming a multidisciplinary division of neuroscience within the American Society of Zoologists.
