With support from the National Science Foundation, a major social neuroscience conference will be held November 21-22, 2008 at the science museum of the Caixa Foundation, Barcelona, Spain. The overarching goal of the conference will be to examine our most fundamental human impulses--the motives to affiliate, cooperate and empathize as opposed to ostracize, compete and aggress--from the perspective of social neuroscience. Social neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates behavioral and biological theories and techniques from many sister disciplines to understand the mechanisms underlying human social behavior. Across three core symposia, participants will examine cooperation and conflict at the level of biological systems, including studies of genetic markers and brain circuits, the level of individual behavior, including biological and behavioral models of cooperation and conflict, and the level of the group, including studies of intergroup conflict and terrorism. The symposium will bring together international leaders and young investigators in neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, economics, sociology and policy. This conference is anticipated to increase communication and subsequent collaboration between complementary research groups.

在国家科学基金会的支持下，一个重要的社会神经科学会议将于2008年11月21日至22日在西班牙巴塞罗那的Caixa基金会科学博物馆举行。会议的总体目标将是从社会神经科学的角度来研究我们最基本的人类冲动--社会神经科学是一个跨学科的领域，它结合了来自许多姐妹学科的行为和生物学理论和技术，以了解人类社会行为的机制。在三个核心研讨会上，与会者将研究生物系统层面的合作与冲突，包括遗传标记和大脑回路的研究，个人行为层面，包括合作与冲突的生物和行为模型，以及群体层面，包括群体间冲突和恐怖主义的研究。研讨会将汇集神经科学，心理学，人类学，经济学，社会学和政策方面的国际领导人和年轻研究人员。预计这次会议将增加互补研究小组之间的沟通和随后的合作。
