47th Annual Symposium of the Society for Developmental Biology, June 12-15, 1988, Storrs, CT

第47届发育生物学学会年会将于1988年6月12-15日在康涅狄格大学斯托尔斯分校举行。研讨会的题目是：神经系统的大会。研讨会的目标是更清楚地确定神经发育中可以受益于应用新的分子技术的重要问题，并通过聚集神经系统不同组织水平的活跃研究人员，鼓励对这些问题的新见解和新方法。演讲者和与会者将来自不同的学科。选择发言者首先是因为他们对自己的研究专业做出了重要贡献，其次是因为他们在更广泛的背景下有效地介绍了他们的工作。进展是指基因在特定发育神经过程中的作用以及在理解神经系统特有过程的细胞机制方面的进展在过去几年中取得了实质性进展，因此举办这样一次研讨会来讨论和评估这一进展是有价值的。

Partial support is requested for the 47th Annual Symposium of the Society for Developmental Biology, which will be held at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, Ct., June 12-15, 1988. The title of the Symposium is: The Assembly of the Nervous System. The goal of the Symposium is to more clearly identify the important problems in neural development that can benefit from application of newer molecular techniques, and by bringing together active researchers working on different levels of organization of the nervous system, to encourage new insights and approaches to these problems. Speakers and attendees will be drawn from divergent disciplines. The speakers, a mixture of established investigators and younger investigators, were chosen first because they have made important contributions to their own research specialty and second because they are effective in presenting their work in a broader context. Progress is the areas of the role of genes in specific developmental neural processes and on understanding the cellular mechanisms of processes unique to the nervous system have been substantial in the past few years and it is therefore valuable to hold such a symposium to discuss and assess this progress.
