OISE-0737946 (Handa, University of Arizona)U.S.-Japan Symposium: Steroid Hormone Receptors and Neural Sex Differences?AbstractThis award supports an international workshop entitled: ?Steroid Hormone Receptors and Neural Sex Differences? to be held in Gifu, Japan in September, 2008. The workshop will bring together speakers from the United States and Japan. Drs. Nobuhara Harada (Fujita Health University) and Mitsuhiro Kawata (Kyoto Prefectural Univ.) are the primary organizers from the Japan side. Given the overwhelming recent advances in the field of neuroscience and steroid hormone biology, the goal of this workshop is to reinvigorate collaborations and provide new linkages between neuroscientists in the United States and Japan. The workshop will be held over a 3 ½ day period with subsequent visits for US scientists to laboratory facilities in the Nagoya, Japan region. The workshop will cover the following topics: (1) Sex steroid hormone action in the brain: transcriptional regulation and cellular functions; (2) Alternative mechanisms of steroid hormone action in brain: rapid membrane and ligand-independent responses; (3) Role of G-protein coupled receptors and their signaling partners in the control of reproduction; (4) Regulation of GnRH neurons and central control of steroid hormone secretion; (5) Developmental effects of steroid hormones: sexual differentiation of the brain; and (6) Steroid hormones and adult sexually differentiated function.The award also supports the travel of young investigators (postdoctoral and graduate student level) to present their recent research findings in workshop panels and poster sessions, thereby allowing them to interact with new and established investigators in this growing field.

OISE-0737946 （Handa, University of Arizona）美国-日本研讨会：类固醇激素受体和神经性别差异？摘要本奖项支持国际研讨会：？类固醇激素受体与神经性别差异？将于2008年9月在日本岐阜举行。研讨会将汇集来自美国和日本的演讲者。Drs。日本方面的主要组织者是原田信原（藤田健康大学）和川田光弘（京都立大学）。鉴于最近在神经科学和类固醇激素生物学领域取得了压倒性的进展，本次研讨会的目标是重振合作，并在美国和日本的神经科学家之间提供新的联系。该研讨会将持续三天半，随后美国科学家将访问日本名古屋地区的实验室设施。研讨会将涵盖以下主题：(1)性类固醇激素在大脑中的作用：转录调控和细胞功能；(2)类固醇激素在脑中的作用机制：快速膜和配体非依赖性反应；(3) g蛋白偶联受体及其信号伙伴在生殖调控中的作用；(4) GnRH神经元的调控和类固醇激素分泌的中枢调控；(5)类固醇激素的发育作用：脑的性别分化；(6)类固醇激素与成体性别分化功能。该奖项还支持年轻研究者（博士后和研究生水平）的旅行，在研讨会小组和海报会议上展示他们最近的研究成果，从而使他们能够与这个不断发展的领域的新研究者和老研究者进行互动。
