Symposium: Recent Developments in Neurobiology, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on January 4-8, 2003

0245736萨特利RA综合与比较生物学学会(SICB)强调细胞和分子概念到涉及整个有机体的功能框架中的比较方法和多学科整合。神经生物学分会是SICB十个分会中最年轻的分会之一；这次研讨会是它的第二个年度计划。研讨会突出了会议城市附近当地地区的工作，并制定了一个独特的计划，将初级成员的演讲与实验室负责人的演讲配对。这一计划为年轻的研究人员在一次小型会议中提供了极好的经验和低成本的曝光率。今年的会议与电机控制有关，有五对演讲者，在加拿大多伦多举行的会议有国际与会者参加。主题是及时的，关于无脊椎动物和脊椎动物系统，每对中的主要发言者都得到了广泛的认可。适中的资金用于为参与者提供旅行奖励。SICB研讨会的传播通过在《综合与比较生物学》杂志上发表。SICB会议还通过引入研究生、本科生和博士后与现有研究人员进行跨学科互动，对培训和教育产生影响。

0245736 Satterlie RA The Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology (SICB) emphasizes the comparative approach and multidisciplinary integration of cellular and molecular concepts into a functional framework involving the whole organism. The Division of Neurobiology is one of the youngest of the ten divisions of SICB; this symposium is its second annual program. The symposium highlights work from the local region near the meeting city, with a unique plan that pairs talks from a junior member with one from the laboratory head. This plan gives excellent experience and exposure with low cost to younger researchers in a small meeting. This year the talks are related to motor control, with five pairs of speakers, and the meeting in Toronto, Canada involves international participants. The topics are timely, on invertebrate and vertebrate systems, and the main speaker in each pair is widely recognized. Modest funding is for travel awards for participants. Dissemination of the SICB Symposia is through publication in the journal Integrative & Comparative Biology. The SICB meetings also have an impact on training and education by bringing in graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs for interdisciplinary interactions with established investigators.
