Scientists who study the evolution of specialized bodies, behaviors, and the brains that drive them, need to know about ever increasing numbers and varieties of specimens and data that are becoming available, and how to gain access to them. To promote this learning, a conference is being held where researchers and students will share information about world resources of specimens and data, especially those that are not well publicized. Investigators will exhibit the latest in technology for learning about brains and related behaviors, along with novel and often surprising findings, obtained using new techniques including brain scans, analyses of gene structure and expression, intracellular and intercellular transport of markers and physiologically active molecules, studies of fossils, electrophysiological probes, programmed observing and recording individual and social behaviors in wild natural surroundings, and digital capture and dissemination of images and numerical information. This opportunity for personal interactions among generations of workers, including new students and established authorities, will have lasting benefits for the work of all of them. The impact will be further spread by the publication of the Conference Proceedings in an established archival publication, the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, available in most of the major libraries of the world as well as on the Internet. The Conference Proceedings will be a major reference source for students, scientists, schools, industry, and public knowledge, for information about, and new means of studying, the relationships among the specializations of brains, bodily structures, and behaviors that enable, not only survival in particular environments, but, increasingly, the managing of environments themselves through the behaviors of their animal and human inhabitants.

研究特殊身体、行为和驱动它们的大脑进化的科学家需要了解不断增加的数量和种类的标本和数据，以及如何获得它们。为了促进这种学习，正在举行一次会议，研究人员和学生将分享有关世界标本和数据资源的信息，特别是那些没有得到充分宣传的资源。 研究人员将展示最新的技术，用于了解大脑和相关行为，沿着新颖的和经常令人惊讶的发现，使用新技术获得，包括大脑扫描，基因结构和表达分析，标记和生理活性分子的细胞内和细胞间运输，化石研究，电生理探针，编程观察和记录野生自然环境中的个人和社会行为，以及图像和数字信息的数字捕获和传播。 这是一个让几代工人，包括新学生和权威人士之间进行个人互动的机会，将对他们所有人的工作产生持久的好处。通过在一份已建立的档案出版物《纽约科学院年鉴》中出版会议记录，将进一步扩大其影响，该出版物可在世界上大多数主要图书馆和因特网上查阅。会议记录将成为学生、科学家、学校、行业和公共知识的主要参考来源，以获取有关大脑、身体结构和行为专业化之间关系的信息和新的研究方法，这些关系不仅使生存成为可能。在特定环境中，而且越来越多地通过动物和人类居民的行为来管理环境本身。
