GENETICS AND EPILEPSY

这是一项规划和实施第二个春山的建议 遗传学与癫痫会议。受邀参与者将 在春山举行为期三天的会议(1990年7月19日至22日) 明尼苏达州韦扎塔的会议中心，位于明尼苏达州以西25英里 明尼阿波利斯。 拟议的会议将在第一次会议十年后召开 斯普林希尔遗传学与癫痫会议(1980年7月20-23日) 在那里，NINCDS提供了一笔赠款。那次会议和 由此产生的出版物在#年被证明非常有效。 刺激个人和合作的努力，这具有 导致了分子生物学、遗传学和 神经科学。当时提出的一些问题是 基本上解决了，但也出现了许多新的问题。 1990年会议的目标将是：(A)一个关键的 关于我们的遗传学和遗传学知识现状的回顾 癫痫，(B)考虑当前研究中的修改 战略将为重要的问题提供更有效的答案 问题，以及(C)确定下列研究战略 尚未应用于该问题，但这似乎是成立的 坚定的承诺。 与1980年相比的一个重大变化将是增加了 神经科学和分子遗传学。其中一些方法包括 开始应用于癫痫的研究，但其他 技术是相关的，应该得到鼓励。 该提案请求支持60位与会者：25位发言者， 30名受邀研究科学家将在讨论中分享； 和5名工作人员。这些设施将允许参加和 另有35名研究人员参与，但费用自费。

This is a proposal to plan and carry out a second Spring Hill Conference on Genetics and Epilepsy. Invited participants will meet for three days (July 19-22, 1990) at the Spring Hill Conference Center in Wayzata, Minnesota, 25 miles west of Minneapolis. The proposed conference will be convened ten years after the First Spring Hill Conference on Genetics and Epilepsy (July 20-23, 1980) at which was supported by a grant from NINCDS. That conference and the resulting publication proved to be very effective in stimulating both individual and collaborative efforts, which have resulted in expanded research in molecular biology, genetics, and neuroscience. Some of the questions posed then have been essentially resolved, but many new questions have emerged. The objectives of the 1990 conference will be: (a) a critical review of the present status of our knowledge about genetics and epilepsy, (b) a consideration of modifications in current research strategies that would provide more effective answers to important questions, and (c) the identification of research strategies that have not yet been applied to the problem but that appear to hold strong promise. A major change from 1980 will be the addition of specialists in the neurosciences and molecular genetics. Some of these approaches are beginning to be applied to the study of epilepsy, but other techniques are relevant and should be encouraged. This proposal requests support for 60 participants: 25 speakers, 30 invited research scientists who will share in the discuss;on, and 5 staff. The facilities will permit attendance and participation by another 35 researchers, but at their own expense.
