项目摘要

The International Congress of Neuroethology has met at three-year intervals since 1986, to bring together researchers working on the neural basis of behavior in vertebrate and invertebrate animals. The huge range of behaviors shown by many sorts of animals is a challenge to explain, and this diversity also can be used to illuminate basic principles of the organization and design of brains in general. It is productive, for example, to study a specialist in a particular kind of behavior such as bat echolocation, or a relatively simple system such as leech swimming, because detailed comparisons of the networks of nerve cells in brains often reveal unexpected mechanisms that need to be incorporated in our thinking about the complexity of brain function. The conference format is designed to emphasize talks on behavioral specializations, and on comparing common neural mechanisms across animals, with other talks on technical advances such as optical imaging and computational techniques for studying brain function. This award will provide partial support for student travel to the meeting. This meeting will have an impact across neuroscience, from cellular approaches to behavior, and will also foster the careers of young investigators, and so have an impact on the infrastructure of neuroscience.

国际神经行为学大会自1986年以来每三年召开一次，汇集了研究脊椎动物和无脊椎动物行为的神经基础的研究人员。解释多种动物表现出的巨大行为范围是一个挑战，这种多样性也可以用来阐明大脑组织和设计的基本原则。例如，研究某一特定行为（如蝙蝠回声定位）的专家，或研究一个相对简单的系统（如水蛭游泳），都是有成效的，因为对大脑神经细胞网络的详细比较，往往会揭示出意想不到的机制，这些机制需要纳入我们对大脑功能复杂性的思考中。会议的形式旨在强调行为专门化的讨论，并比较动物之间常见的神经机制，以及其他关于技术进步的讨论，如研究大脑功能的光学成像和计算技术。该奖项将为学生参加会议提供部分旅费。这次会议将对整个神经科学产生影响，从细胞方法到行为，也将促进年轻研究者的职业生涯，从而对神经科学的基础设施产生影响。
