The International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) serves as the scientific meeting of the International Society for Neuroethology (ISN), and has been held every three years since 1986. The focus of these meetings is to bring together diverse neuroscientists who are investigating the neural basis of naturally-occurring behaviors across a broad spectrum of taxa (both vertebrate and invertebrate). This meeting provides an outstanding venue to bring international scientists together who have a broad range of perspectives, but a common focus on basic-science questions with important implications for neural function and disease. The major focus of the meeting regards basic questions pertaining to relationships between neural mechanisms and complex processes of behavior. Themes of the meeting include sensory and motor systems, integrative processing in the brain, neural development, learning and memory, basic processes of neural communication at the cellular level, and neural-systems approaches to understanding behavior. A major goal is to promote consideration of how the promise of modern techniques of molecular biology can influence the study of behavior, and to define ways in which neuroethology can enhance genetic and molecular biological studies of behavior. Likewise, rapid developments in neural imaging and cognitive neuropsychology, and in behavioral neuroscience in general, make for timely opportunities to promote cross-fertilization between different disciplines. The program for the meeting represents different levels of analysis (from biophysics to behavior), as well as different techniques and approaches (neurophysiology, molecular biology, imaging). Thus, benefits to American scientists in general, and to young investigators in particular, will be an opportunity for exposure to cutting-edge research and techniques from around the world.

国际神经行为学大会（International Congress of Neuroethology， ICN）是国际神经行为学学会（International Society for Neuroethology， ISN）的科学会议，自1986年以来每三年举办一次。这些会议的重点是将不同的神经科学家聚集在一起，他们正在研究跨广泛分类群（脊椎动物和无脊椎动物）自然发生行为的神经基础。这次会议提供了一个出色的场所，汇集了具有广泛观点的国际科学家，但共同关注具有重要神经功能和疾病含义的基础科学问题。会议的主要焦点是关于神经机制和复杂行为过程之间关系的基本问题。会议的主题包括感觉和运动系统，大脑中的综合处理，神经发育，学习和记忆，细胞水平上神经通讯的基本过程，以及理解行为的神经系统方法。一个主要目标是促进对现代分子生物学技术如何影响行为研究的考虑，并确定神经行为学可以增强行为的遗传和分子生物学研究的方法。同样，神经成像和认知神经心理学以及一般的行为神经科学的快速发展，为促进不同学科之间的交叉受精提供了及时的机会。会议的计划代表了不同层次的分析（从生物物理学到行为学），以及不同的技术和方法（神经生理学，分子生物学，成像）。因此，总的来说，对美国科学家，尤其是年轻的研究人员来说，好处是有机会接触到来自世界各地的前沿研究和技术。
