Vestibular research has seen recent major advances with the advent of new tools,techniques and ideas. These advances have been realized in studies of both thecentral and peripheral vestibular systems and in studies performed in bothterrestrial and micro-gravity. Advances have been made in the understanding ofthe contributions of biomechanics, including intralabyrinthine pressure and thestiffness and elastic restoring forces of the stereocilia and cupula to theformation of the response dynamics of the semicircular canal nerves The conference should be of interest to broad areas of neuroscience,including developmental biology, physiology and pharmacology, space biology,bioengineering, and the medical fields of neurology, otolaryngology, andneurosurgery. The conference will be held in the Eric P. Newman Center for ContinuingEducation of the Washington University School of Medicine from Thursday November16 through Saturday November 18, 2000 under the direction of Drs. Stephen M.Highstein, Chair and Joel Goebel, Co-Chair. Speakers have been chosen by Drs.Highstein and Goebel with the advice of the advisory panel and others prominentin vestibular research. While many of the speakers have national andinternational reputations as leaders of their fields, an emphasis has beenplaced on the contributions of younger workers wherever possible. Women arealso represented to the maximum extent possible. We are interested in bringingexisting controversies to light, and adequate time will be provided fordiscussion and resolution of differing viewpoints. An effort has been made toprovide an outlet for research that is new and on the cutting edge in a postersession.

随着新工具、新技术和新思想的出现，前庭研究最近取得了重大进展。这些进展在对中央前庭系统和外周前庭系统的研究以及在陆地和微重力下进行的研究中都实现了。生物力学对半规管神经反应动力学形成的贡献，包括迷路内压力、立体纤毛和杯状物的弹性恢复力和弹性恢复力，已在认识方面取得了进展。会议应引起神经科学的广泛领域的兴趣，包括发育生物学、生理学和药理学、空间生物学、生物工程以及神经学、耳鼻喉科和神经外科等医学领域。会议将于2000年11月16日星期四至11月18日星期六在华盛顿大学医学院埃里克·P·纽曼继续教育中心举行，由主席斯蒂芬·M·海斯坦博士和联席主席乔尔·戈贝尔博士指导。演讲者是由海斯坦博士和戈贝尔博士在咨询小组和前庭研究中的其他知名人物的建议下选择的。虽然许多演讲者作为各自领域的领导者在国内和国际上享有盛誉，但尽可能强调年轻工人的贡献。妇女也在最大程度上得到了代表。我们有兴趣将现有的争议公之于众，并将提供足够的时间来讨论和解决不同的观点。已经作出努力，为以后的新的和前沿的研究提供一个出口。
