NEURAL MECHANISMS FOR GENERATING LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY

描述：会议将由纽约学院主办 1998年3月在纽约的科学杂志上发表的文章，涉及到运动的神经基础。 会议将持续三天，来自两国的31名发言者将参加会议。 北美和国外。会议将向每个人开放，每个人 演讲者将提供一篇论文，该论文将作为 《纽约时报》编年史。将有几个海报会议，以 适应会议中各种各样的话题。的一个新颖的方面 这些招牌式的会议是，会议主席将巡视 浏览海报，让每位海报主持人有1-2分钟的时间 演讲之后，对海报进行了3分钟的讨论。 会议以描述开始，并从每个 最具特色的电机发电机系统：从软体动物到青蛙。 下一次会议将介绍来自高等电机系统的新结果 脊椎动物，使用电生理记录和活动依赖 在雏鸟、乌龟和哺乳动物身上进行成像。稍后的课程将检查 神经递质和传入物质对运动发生器的控制 输入，发电机系统的建模，分子决定因素 图案生成器的组件，电机系统的开发，以及 最后是临床方面的运动和康复。

DESCRIPTION: The meeting, to be held under the auspices of the NY Academy of Sciences in NYC, March 1998, concerns the neural basis of locomotion. The meeting will last for three days and includes 31 speakers from both North America and abroad. The meeting will be open to everyone, and each speaker will provide a paper which will be published as a special issue of the Annals of the NYAS. There will be several poster sessions to accommodate the wide variety of topics in the meeting. A novel aspect of these poster sessions is that the session chairperson will make a tour through the posters, allowing each poster-presenter a 1-2 minute presentation followed by a 3 minute discussion of the poster. The sessions begin with a description and new results from each of the best-characterized motor generator systems: from mollusks through frogs. The next session will present new results from motor systems in higher vertebrates, using electrophysiological recordings and activity-dependent imaging, in chicks, turtles, and mammals. Later sessions will examine control of locomotion generators by both neurotransmitters and afferent input, modeling of generator systems, molecular determinants of the components of pattern generators, the development of motor systems, and finally clinical aspects of locomotion and rehabilitation.
