Fifth Conference on the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory,October 22-24, 1992, U of California, Irvine, CA

这一行动是为将于1992年10月22日至24日在加利福尼亚州欧文举行的第五届学习和记忆神经生物学会议提供支持。这次会议的总主题是“大脑和记忆：神经可塑性的调节和调节”，这对该领域来说是及时的和高度重要的。最先进的讲座将由国际公认的调查人员讲授，重点介绍四个令人兴奋的领域。首先，我们将考察情绪和记忆之间的关系。本次会议所考察的发现和理论对理解动机、情绪和压力在学习和记忆中的作用具有重要意义。其次，将探索动物和人类大脑和记忆中与年龄相关的变化的最新发现和理论。第三次会议将集中讨论大脑皮层的可塑性，到目前为止，大脑皮层的可塑性只得到了有限的关注，但长期以来一直被认为是主要的处理结构，可能是记忆的最终前脑存储场所。最后，我们将探讨长时程增强与记忆之间的关系。这次会议的形式将确保在关于我们如何学习和记忆的根本重要问题上进行思想的交流。其中一些资金将用于支持被选中的研究生和博士后，他们可能无法参加这次杰出的会议。*/

This action is provide support for the Fifth Conference on the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory to be held in Irvine, CA on October 22-24, 1992. The general theme of this meeting, "Brain and Memory: Modulation and Mediation of Neuroplasticity" is timely and of high importance to the field. State-of-the-art lectures will be given by internationally recognized investigators highlighting four exciting areas. First, the relationship between emotion and memory will be examined. The findings and theories examined in this session have implications for understanding the role of motivation, emotion and stress in learning and memory. Second, recent findings and theory concerning age-related changes in brain and memory in animals and humans will be explored. The third session will focus on the plasticity in the cerebral cortex, which has received only limited attention to date but has long been recognized as the main processing structure and probably the ultimate forebrain storage site of memories. Finally, the relationship between long-term potentiation and memory will be probed. The format of this conference will insure cross-fertilization of ideas on fundamentally important questions on how we learn and remember. Some of the funds are to used for support of selected graduate and postdoctoral students who might overwise not be able to attend this outstanding conference.***//
