FASEB Conference on "Neuroimmunology;" July 3-7, 1994; Copper Mountain, Colorado

神经免疫学是一个迅速兴起和扩大的研究领域，最近的发现提供了证据，证明许多分子影响免疫系统和神经系统细胞的生长和分化。现在人们认识到，曾经被认为只对免疫系统起作用的分子直接影响神经细胞的增殖、生长和分化。同样，最初被发现的分子，因为它们在神经系统的发育中起作用，通过对免疫系统产生影响来回报。本次会议由美国实验生物学学会联合会主办，其主要目标是将来自不同领域（如免疫学、神经科学、药理学和心理学）的科学家聚集在一起，在神经系统和免疫系统之间的相互作用研究中探索新思想、交流信息并促进合作。

Neuroimmunology is a rapidly emerging and expanding field of research, propelled by recent findings that have provided evidence that a number of molecules affect the growth and differentiation of cells in both the immune system and the nervous system. It is now recognized that molecules once thought to have actions restricted to the immune system directly affect the proliferation, growth, and differentiation of nerve cells. Similarly, molecules originally identified because they function in the development of the nervous system reciprocate by having effects in the immune system. A major goal of this conference, held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, is to bring together scientists from diverse fields (such as immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and psychology) to explore new ideas, exchange information, and foster collaboration in the study of the interactions between the nervous system and the immune system.
