DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Serotonin Club is an international organization of about 650 biomedical scientists interested in research on serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine). The Serotonin Club is an authorized affiliate of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacological Societies (IUPHAR) and sponsors satellite meetings to the IUPHAR Congresses every 4 years. The next meeting will be held at Hokkaido University in Sapporo Japan June 27-30, 2006 as an official satellite of the 2006 World Congress of IUPHAR to be held in Beijing China. The overall goal of this program is to conduct an international meeting on serotonin research that will be of the highest possible scientific quality in order to attract and educate both young and senior investigators. The primary specific aim of this application is to provide financial support to young investigators to enable them to attend and participate in the Serotonin Club Meeting and thereby foster their careers in serotonin research. This year, 16 symposia including four speakers each will cover the full range of new findings regarding serotonin. Serotonin research is very relevant to human health, being germane to substance abuse, pain, cardiovascular systems, and digestive processes, and especially mental health. It is striking that serotonergic drugs are central to treatments of depression, schizophrenia, OCD, mania, anxiety, eating disorders, panic, and PTSD. Nevertheless, additional opportunities exist for novel therapeutics based on compounds having selective actions at specific serotonin receptors and that are only now being explored with new pharmacological tools. Serotonin Club meetings are typically the first place that leading scientists present their newest findings relevant to novel drug discovery and target validations involving serotonergic mechanisms. Accordingly, attendance and participation in the IUPHAR Serotonin Satellite meetings are often singular opportunities in the early careers of young investigators working on serotonin-related problems. Hence, support that would enable neuroscientists-in-training to attend the forthcoming Serotonin Meeting in Sapporo will have a positive influence on young investigators and in turn will have a lasting impact on the field. The Serotonin Club, an international organization of biomedical scientists interested in research on the neurotransmitter serotonin, organizes scientific meetings every other year. This application seeks support to enable young investigators to participate in the 2006 Serotonin Club Meeting. Serotonin research is important to substance abuse, pain, cardiovascular systems, digestive processes, and especially mental health. Serotonergic drugs are used to treat depression, schizophrenia, mania, anxiety, eating disorders, panic, and PTSD. Serotonin Club meetings are typically the first place that scientists present their newest discoveries about novel serotonergic drugs. Hence, helping neuroscientists-in-training attend the meeting will have a positive influence on trainees and a lasting impact on the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：血清素俱乐部是一个由大约650名对5-羟色胺研究感兴趣的生物医学科学家组成的国际组织。血清素俱乐部是国际基础与临床药理学会联合会（IUPHAR）的授权附属机构，每四年赞助一次IUPHAR大会的卫星会议。下一次会议将于2006年6月27日至30日在日本札幌北海道大学举行，作为将在中国北京举行的2006年IUPHAR世界大会的官方卫星会议。该计划的总体目标是举办一个关于血清素研究的国际会议，该会议将尽可能具有最高的科学质量，以吸引和教育年轻和高级研究人员。这项申请的主要目的是为年轻的研究人员提供资金支持，使他们能够参加5 -羟色胺俱乐部会议，从而促进他们在5 -羟色胺研究方面的职业发展。今年，16个专题讨论会，每个专题讨论会包括4位演讲者，将涵盖有关血清素的所有新发现。血清素的研究与人类健康密切相关，与药物滥用、疼痛、心血管系统、消化过程，尤其是心理健康密切相关。令人惊讶的是，血清素能药物是治疗抑郁症、精神分裂症、强迫症、躁狂、焦虑、饮食失调、恐慌和创伤后应激障碍的核心。然而，基于对特定5 -羟色胺受体具有选择性作用的化合物的新疗法存在额外的机会，并且现在仅用新的药理学工具进行探索。5 -羟色胺俱乐部的会议通常是领先的科学家们展示他们与新药物发现和涉及5 -羟色胺能机制的目标验证相关的最新发现的第一个地方。因此，参加IUPHAR 5 -羟色胺卫星会议通常是从事5 -羟色胺相关问题研究的年轻研究者早期职业生涯中的难得机会。因此，支持训练中的神经科学家参加即将在札幌举行的5 -羟色胺会议将对年轻的研究人员产生积极的影响，反过来将对该领域产生持久的影响。5 -羟色胺俱乐部是一个由对神经递质5 -羟色胺研究感兴趣的生物医学科学家组成的国际组织，每隔一年组织一次科学会议。本申请寻求支持，使年轻的研究者能够参加2006年血清素俱乐部会议。血清素的研究对药物滥用、疼痛、心血管系统、消化过程，尤其是心理健康都很重要。血清素能药物用于治疗抑郁症、精神分裂症、躁狂、焦虑、饮食失调、恐慌和创伤后应激障碍。血清素俱乐部的会议通常是科学家们第一次展示他们关于新型血清素能药物的最新发现。因此，帮助训练中的神经科学家参加会议将对受训人员产生积极影响，并对该领域产生持久影响。
