International Symposium on Brain-Gut Interaction Queen's College, Cambridge, U.K., July 7-10, 1992

这项行动是为参加在英国剑桥举行的第二届脑-肠相互作用国际研讨会的年轻美国科学家提供旅行奖学金。(1)脑肠相互作用的神经解剖学基础；(2)神经内分泌对传入和传出通路的调节；(3)肠神经系统中发生的感觉-运动相互作用；(4)神经系统和免疫系统之间的相互作用。在一个快速发展和变化的领域，这些都是至关重要的问题。本次研讨会为一些最杰出的研究者与来自世界各地的年轻科学家提供了一个互动的论坛。在这个问题上的思想分享可能会导致新的实验方法，可以用来阐明潜在的基本机制，反过来，可以提供一个更好的理解胃肠功能障碍。会议将出版一本参考书，对脑肠相互作用的神经解剖学、神经药理学、神经生理学和病理生理学进行综合综述。

This action is provide travel fellowships to young American scientists to attend the 2nd International Symposium on Brain-Gut Interactions to be held in Cambridge England. State-of-the-art lectures will be held on: (1) neuroanatomical basis of brain-gut interactions; (2) neuroendocrine modulation of afferent and efferent pathways; (3) sensory-motor interactions occurring in the enteric nervous system; and (4) interplay between the neural and immune systems. These are fundamentally important questions in an field that is rapidly advancing and changing. This symposium offers a forum for interactions of some of the most brilliant investigators with young scientists from all over the world. The sharing of ideas on this subject may lead to new experimental approaches which could be used to elucidate underlying basic mechanisms which, in turn, could provide a better understanding of gastrointestinal malfunctions. A reference book will be published of the proceedings to provide an integrated review on the neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology and pathophysiology of brain-gut interactions.
