DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 6th International Congress of Neuroendocrinology (ICN 2006) is to be held June 19-22, 2006 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA, under the auspices of the International Neuroendocrine Federation (INF). The Congress is sponsored jointly by the American Neuroendocrine Society (ANS) and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's (UPMC) Center for Continuing Education in the Health Sciences. ICN 2006 will be held in conjunction with the 10th Annual Meeting of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) and immediately precede the Annual Meeting of The Endocrine Society (Endo 2006), which is to be held in Boston that year. The sequential arrangement of these three major meetings will provide a truly outstanding forum for international scientific exchange. The overall goal of ICN 2006 is to bring together both basic and clinical investigators in academia and industry, at all career levels, and from all parts of the world, interested in the integrative genomics (physiology) of neuroendocrine control systems to review and discuss recent advances in this field. Neuroendocrinology comprises a broad range of disciplines from genetics, molecular and cell biology, pharmacology, systems biology, and clinical trials, and this meeting hopes to include all of these aspects. Specific Aims of ICN 2006 include: 1) to use plenary lectures, symposia, platform, and poster sessions to cover neuroendocrinology in its broadest sense. 2) To provide workshops on contemporary molecular, genomic, and proteomic approaches to the study of neuroendocrine systems. 3) To provide support to enable young investigators (students and fellows) to attend ICN 2006. 4) To provide targeted support to enable investigators from less privileged parts of the world (Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia) to travel to Pittsburgh to participate fully in ICN 2006. 5) To hold a session open to cover "late breaking hot topics" in the field. Because neuroendocrine systems impact upon every aspect of human physiology and behavior, the congress will be directly relevant to better understanding human pathophysiology and psychiatric disease.

简介（由申请人提供）：第六届国际神经内分泌大会（ICN 2006）将于2006年6月19日至22日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的David L. Lawrence会议中心举行，由国际神经内分泌联合会（INF）主办。大会由美国神经内分泌学会（ANS）和匹兹堡大学医学中心（UPMC）健康科学继续教育中心联合主办。ICN 2006将与第十届行为神经内分泌学会年会（SBN）同时举行，并紧接内分泌学会年会（Endo 2006），该年会将于当年在波士顿举行。这三个主要会议的先后安排将为国际科学交流提供一个真正杰出的论坛。ICN 2006的总体目标是汇集来自世界各地，对神经内分泌控制系统的整合基因组学（生理学）感兴趣的学术界和工业界的基础和临床研究人员，回顾和讨论该领域的最新进展。神经内分泌学包括遗传学、分子和细胞生物学、药理学、系统生物学和临床试验等广泛的学科，这次会议希望包括所有这些方面。ICN 2006的具体目标包括：1)利用全体讲座、专题讨论会、平台和海报会议，在最广泛的意义上涵盖神经内分泌学。2)为神经内分泌系统的研究提供当代分子、基因组和蛋白质组学方法的研讨会。3)为青年研究人员（学生和研究员）参加ICN 2006提供支持。4)提供有针对性的支持，使来自世界上较不发达地区（拉丁美洲、东欧和亚洲）的调查人员能够前往匹兹堡，充分参与ICN 2006。5)举办一场关于该领域“最新热点话题”的开放会议。由于神经内分泌系统影响着人类生理和行为的方方面面，本次大会将与更好地理解人类病理生理和精神疾病直接相关。
