Fernstrom Symposium on the Neuromuscular Junction; June 6-11, 1988, in Lund, Sweden.

关于神经肌肉接点的芬斯特罗姆专题讨论会将于1988年6月6日至11日举行，作为将在瑞典哥德堡举行的欧洲神经化学学会会议的卫星专题讨论会。研讨会将有46位发言人：19位来自美国，22位来自欧洲，2位来自加拿大，日本、以色列和委内瑞拉各1位。其余100名参加者将获邀作海报展示。科学项目将包括6次会议，为期3天半。主题将包括：离子通道的结构和功能；发射机 释放;烟碱乙酰胆碱受体；激励-收缩耦合；神经、肌肉和退行性疾病机制中的基因表达和调控。在这些领域已经取得了许多进展。本次研讨会的目的是创建一个论坛，让领先的科学家可以展示他们的发现，讨论他们与我们对突触前和突触后机制的整体理解的相关性，并确定重要的未解决的问题。其目的是促进这方面的知识传播给年轻的研究人员，他们将被鼓励参加会议，并通过快速出版会议记录促进整个科学界的知识传播。这个申请的目的是为说美国话的人获得跨大西洋机票的资金。为同样的目的和数额，一项类似的提案正在提交给美国国立卫生研究院。如果这两项资助都得到资助，19名美国演讲者中18人的往返机票将得到支付。由于这次会议是欧洲神经化学学会会议（1988年6月12日至17日）的卫星研讨会，它为美国人提供了参加第二次科学大会的机会。美国发言人的食宿将由Fernstrom基金会（瑞典）提供。跨大西洋的机票将从美国航空公司购买。

The Fernstrom Symposium on the Neuromuscular Junction will be held from 6 to 11 June 1988 as a satellite symposium of the European Society for Neurochemistry meeting to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden. The symposium will have 46 speakers: 19 from the United States, 22 from Europe, 2 from Canada and 1 each from Japan, Israel and Venezuela. The remaining 100 participants will be invited to present poster presentations. The scientific program will consist of 6 sessions over 3 1/2 days. The topics will include: ion channel structure and function; transmitter release; the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; excitation- contraction coupling; genetic expression and regulation in nerve and muscle and degenerative disease mechanisms. Numerous advances have been made in these areas. The purpose of this symposium is to create a forum where leading scientists can present their findings, discuss their relevance to our overall understanding of presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms, and to identify important unresolved issues. The aim is to promote the spread of this knowledge to younger investigators who will be encouraged to attend, and to the scientific community in general through the rapid publication of the proceedings. The purpose of this application is to obtain funding for trans-Atlantic airfare for American speakers. A similar proposal for the same purpose and amount is being submitted to the National Institutes of Health. If both grants are funded, the round-trip airfare for 18 of the 19 American speakers will be covered. Since this meeting is a satellite symposium of the European Society for Neurochemistry meeting (12-17 June 1988), it provides an opportunity for Americans to attend this second scientific congress. Room and board for the American speakers will be provided by a grant from the Fernstrom Foundation (Sweden). The trans-Atlantic airline tickets will be purchased from American carriers.
