Conference: Specificity in Neural Development: Maps and Molecules, May 23-29, 1993 Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese, Corsica

美国科学家和学生将参加一个名为《神经发育的特殊性》的有关大脑发育的国际会议。神经系统的正常功能依赖于神经细胞之间精确的连接模式。在成年人的大脑中，这种连接模式非常复杂，一些神经细胞与其他神经细胞的通信超过一米远。这种复杂的连接模式发展的机制尚不清楚，但通过最近的研究，人们已经对这些机制有了相当深入的了解。这次会议将把世界上许多致力于这一问题的科学家聚集在一起。这些科学家将分享他们的知识，并通过讨论规划该领域的未来方向。

American scientists and students will participate in an international conference on brain development entitled 'Specificity in Neural Development.' Normal function of the nervous system depends on a precise pattern of connections between nerve cells. In the adult brain, this pattern of connections is very complex, with some nerve cells communicating with other nerve cells over a meter away. The mechanisms by which this complex pattern of connections develops are unknown, but considerable insight into these mechanisms has been gained through recent investigations. This conference will bring together many of the world's scientists working on this problem. These scientists will share their knowledge and through discussion chart the future directions of the field.
