Symposium on Behavioral Neuromodulators: Cellular, Comparative and Evolutionary Patterns; 27-30 December, 1987,in New Orleans, LA.

这一行动是为了部分支持将在美国动物学家协会年会上举行的研讨会。这次研讨会涉及来自美国各地的神经调节剂和科学家，来自其他国家的两名科学家将齐聚一堂，讨论这一主题的重要方面。将解决以下问题：1.什么是神经调节剂？2.调节剂是否具有独特的化学性质？3.不同类别的神经调节剂之间是否存在层次化的功能组织？4.特定的调节器是否比大调节器具有类似的行为功能，或者只是简单地说，分类距离？5.神经调节剂在无脊椎动物行为中的教训适用于脊椎动物吗？对哺乳动物？6.调节物和调节物的共同定位和释放是否有行为后果由单个神经元传递的？7.某些类别的调节器是否与特定的机制有关(例如，某些离子通道或细胞内信使)？8.所有的行为都具有同等的调节能力吗？综合神经系统项目很高兴为本次研讨会提供支持。

This action is to give partial support to a symposium to be held at the annual meeting of the American Society of Zoologists. The symposium deals with neuromodulators and scientists from around the U.S. and two from other countries will come together to discuss important aspects of this topic. The following issues will be addressed: 1. What is a neuromodulator? 2. Do modulators have distinctive chemical properties 3. Is there a hierachichal functional organization among the various classes of neuromodulators? 4. Do particular modulators subserve similar behavioral functions over great, or only over short, taxonomic distance? 5. Are the lessons from neuromodulators in the behavior of invertebrates applicable to vertebrates? to mammals? 6. Are there behavioral consequences in the co localization and release of modulators and transmitters by single neurons? 7. Are certain classes of modulators associated with specific mechanisms (e.g., certain ion channels or intracellular messengers)? 8. Are all behaviors equally capable of modulation? The Integrative Neural Systems Program is pleased to aid in the support of this symposium.
