DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the next Annual Meeting of the American Society for Neurochemistry to be held in Palm Beach, FL from 22-26 June 2002 and for the next three ASN annual meetings in the series. Funds provided for two previous meeting of the ASN have been invaluable for support of the scientific programs and for enhancing our ability to reach graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. To accommodate the breadth of neurochemistry and provide in depth analyses of particular topics, a series of Symposia, Colloquia and Workshops on four interwoven, but distinct themes are proposed to increase our understanding of the cellular and molecular bases of neural development and disease. These are ongoing themes in our meeting that several of the sessions intentionally contain elements from more than one theme to enhance scientific interactions.BUILDING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. The mechanisms that facilitate the emergence of multiple neural cell types and their specific connections are just beginning to be understood. Sessions in this theme address the generation of cell diversity, elaboration of neuronal cytoarchitecture, specificity of synapse formation and the role of growth factors during development. CELL AND MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE. The fundamental molecular mechanisms that underlie cellular function in the nervous system provide a foundation for our understanding of disease and injury. Sessions under this theme deal with basic mechanisms applicable in a wide range of health issues, ranging from metabolism to neurotransmitter function from cell motility to cell structure. GLIAL MECHANISMS AND INJURY. The crucial role of non-neuronal cells in neural development and pathogenesis will be explored in sessions that address basic glial biology as well as the role of the glia in diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease and CNS injury. This has long been a strength of the ASN. NEURONAL DEGENERATION AND DISEASE. This theme continues the focus neurodegenerative diseases sustained at recent ASN meetings. Sessions will address the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, the role of inflammation and the contributions of neurotransmitters to the disease state. Three major goals will be met at the ASN 2002 meeting and future ASN meetings: To provide the strongest scientific program possible; To bring together investigators from diverse disciplines to facilitate integration of scientific information; and to attract and support the active participation of young investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）： 请求支持将于 2002 年 6 月 22 日至 26 日在佛罗里达州棕榈滩举行的下一届美国神经化学学会年会以及该系列的接下来三届 ASN 年会。为 ASN 前两次会议提供的资金对于支持科学项目以及增强我们接触研究生和博士后研究人员的能力来说是非常宝贵的。为了适应神经化学的广度并提供对特定主题的深入分析，提出了一系列关于四个相互交织但又不同主题的研讨会、座谈会和研讨会，以增进我们对神经发育和疾病的细胞和分子基础的理解。这些是我们会议中持续存在的主题，其中一些会议有意包含多个主题的元素，以加强科学互动。建立神经系统。促进多种神经细胞类型出现的机制及其特定连接才刚刚开始被理解。该主题的会议讨论细胞多样性的产生、神经元细胞结构的阐述、突触形成的特异性以及生长因子在发育过程中的作用。 细胞和分子神经科学。神经系统细胞功能的基本分子机制为我们理解疾病和损伤奠定了基础。该主题下的会议涉及适用于广泛健康问题的基本机制，从新陈代谢到神经递质功能，从细胞运动到细胞结构。 神经胶质机制和损伤。在讨论基本神经胶质生物学以及神经胶质细胞在多发性硬化症、阿尔茨海默病和中枢神经系统损伤等疾病中的作用的会议中，将探讨非神经元细胞在神经发育和发病机制中的关键作用。这一直是 ASN 的优势。 神经元变性和疾病。这一主题延续了最近 ASN 会议上持续关注的神经退行性疾病问题。会议将讨论神经退行性变的机制、炎症的作用以及神经递质对疾病状态的贡献。 ASN 2002 会议和未来的 ASN 会议将实现三个主要目标： 提供尽可能最强有力的科学计划；汇集不同学科的研究人员，促进科学信息的整合；吸引和支持年轻研究者的积极参与。
