Molecular and Cellular Cognition Meeting

我们请求为接下来的三次分子和细胞认知(MCC)会议提供部分支持。这个 下一次会议将于2010年11月11日和12日在圣地亚哥会议中心举行，对吗？ 在神经科学学会年会之前。MCC会议聚集了初级和高级人员 结合分子(药理学、遗传学、转基因、病毒方法等)和 生理学(电生理学、光生理学)和其他研究行为的细胞方法，包括 学习和记忆。这些研究的总体目标是得出对认知过程的解释，这些过程 整合分子、细胞和行为机制，以及利用这些信息和相关动物 寻找儿童、成人和儿童认知、精神和神经障碍治疗的模型 老年人。这些会议是在分子和组织委员会的赞助和领导下组织的 细胞认知协会(MCCS)(www.molcell cog.org)，该协会成立于2002年，其主要 职能是组织会议，促进在该领域工作的实验室之间的互动和合作 一般区域。尽管在美国和国外有一些学习和记忆会议，但分子 而细胞认知会议是独一无二的，因为它将整合分子、 认知、记忆和学习相关障碍研究中的生理和行为方法。 尽管分子和细胞认知领域相对较新，但它已经对 神经科学研究。目前，这是实地唯一的定期会议，这是一个宝贵的机会 交流信息，开发这一年轻的领域。2007-2009年的会议非常成功， 每年吸引来自北美、欧洲和亚洲的约500名不同的参与者， 我们完全有理由相信，2010-2012年会议将同样取得成功。 (在http://www.molcellcog.org/meetings.htm).上提供摘要

We are requesting partial support for the next three Molecular and Cellular Cognition (MCC) Meetings. The next Conference will be held in the San Diego Convention Center on November 11th and 12th, 2010, right before the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. The MCC meeting brings together junior and senior scientists that combine molecular (pharmacology, genetics, transgenics, viral approaches, etc) and physiological (electrophysiology, optical physiology) and other cellular approaches to study behavior, including learning and memory. The general goal of these studies is to derive explanations of cognitive processes that integrate molecular, cellular, and behavioral mechanisms, as well as to use this information and related animal models in the search for treatments for cognitive, psychiatric and neurological disorders in children, adults and the elderly. These meetings have been organized under the sponsorship and leadership of the Molecular and Cellular Cognition Society (MCCS) (www.molcellcog.org), a society that started in 2002 and whose main function is to organize meetings and promote interaction and collaborations among laboratories working in this general area. Although there are a few learning and memory meetings in the USA and abroad, the Molecular and Cellular Cognition meeting is unique because it brings together individuals that integrate molecular, physiological and behavioral approaches in studies of cognition, memory and learning related disorders. Although the molecular and cellular cognition field is relatively new, it has already had a profound impact on neuroscience research. Currently, this is the only periodic meeting in the field, an invaluable opportunity to exchange information, and develop this young field. The 2007-2009 meetings were highly successful, attracting each year a diverse group of approximately 500 participants from North America, Europe, and Asia, and we have every reason to believe that the 2010-2012 meetings will be equally successful.
