DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds the Seventh International of Neuroethology, to be held are requested to help support Congress August 9-13, 2004 in Nyborg, Denmark. The International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) serves as the scientific meeting of the International Society for Neuroethology (ISN), and has been held every three years since 1986. The focus of these meetings is to bring together diverse neuroscientists who are investigating the neural basis of behavior across a broad spectrum of taxa (both vertebrate and invertebrate). This meeting provides an outstanding venue to bring international scientists together who have a broad range of perspectives, but who focus on common basic-science questions that have important implications for neural function and disease. The major theme of the meeting regards basic questions pertaining to relationships between neural mechanisms and complex processes of behavior. Topics of the meeting include sensory and motor processing, central integrative processes, development, basic processes of synaptic transmission and plasticity, and systems-level approaches to understanding plasticity and behavior. A major goal is to promote consideration of how the spectacular promise of modem techniques of molecular biology can influence neuroethological studies, and to define ways in which neuroethology can enhance genetic and molecular biological studies of behavior. Likewise, rapid developments in imaging and cognitive neuropsychology, and in behavioral neuroscience in general, make for timely opportunities to promote crossfertilization between different disciplines. The program for the meeting represents both different levels of analysis (from biophysics to behavior), and also different techniques and approaches (neurophysiology, molecular biology, imaging). Thus, benefits to American scientists in general, and to young investigators in particular, will be the opportunity for exposure to cutting-edge research and techniques from around the World.

描述（由申请人提供）：基金第七届国际神经行为学，将举行的要求，以帮助支持大会2004年8月9日至13日在尼堡，丹麦。国际神经行为学大会（International Congress of Neuroethology，ICN）是国际神经行为学学会（International Society for Neuroethology，ISN）的科学会议，自1986年以来每三年举行一次。这些会议的重点是汇集不同的神经科学家，他们正在研究广泛的分类群（包括脊椎动物和无脊椎动物）的行为神经基础。这次会议提供了一个杰出的场所，将具有广泛视角的国际科学家聚集在一起，但他们专注于对神经功能和疾病具有重要影响的共同基础科学问题。会议的主要主题涉及与神经机制和复杂行为过程之间关系有关的基本问题。会议的主题包括感觉和运动处理，中央整合过程，发展，突触传递和可塑性的基本过程，以及系统水平的方法来理解可塑性和行为。一个主要目标是促进人们考虑现代分子生物学技术的巨大前景如何影响神经行为学研究，并定义神经行为学可以增强行为的遗传和分子生物学研究的方法。同样，影像学和认知神经心理学以及行为神经科学的快速发展也为促进不同学科之间的交叉提供了及时的机会。会议的计划代表了不同层次的分析（从生物物理学到行为），以及不同的技术和方法（神经生理学，分子生物学，成像）。因此，美国科学家，特别是年轻的研究人员，将有机会接触世界各地的尖端研究和技术。
