Meeting on Circulating Regulatory Factors and Neuroendocrine Function; Summer 1989: Bratislava, Czechoslovakia

为参加在捷克斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发举行的“循环调节因子和神经内分泌功能”国际研讨会的杰出美国科学家提供旅行支持。位于这个华沙条约国家的斯洛伐克科学院将提供从维也纳到捷克斯洛伐克的交通费用，并为参加这次会议的美国科学家提供费用。会议将集中讨论来自免疫系统、心脏、肾脏、肾上腺、甲状腺、性腺和脑下垂体的循环因子对调节神经内分泌和其他稳态功能的大脑机制的影响机制(S)。这次会议具有及时的重要性，因为现在很清楚，脑神经元的寿命和功能是由血液中的药物调节的。虽然血脑屏障被认为可以保护大脑免受许多直接影响，但有明确的证据表明，许多循环系统因子对神经元的发育和成熟起着控制作用。会议将以一种可整合许多不同学科的数据的格式处理这一关键问题。这次重要会议的会议记录将会公布。

Travel support is provided for distinguished American scientists to attend an international symposium on "Circulating Regulatory Factors and Neuroendocrine Function" in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. The Slovak Academy of Sciences in this Warsaw Pact nation will provide transportation from Vienna to Czechoslovakia and expenses for the American scientists while attending this meeting. The meeting will focus on the mechanism(s) by which circulating factors derived from the immune system, heart, kidney, adrenals, thyroid gland, gonads and pituitary gland influence the brain mechanisms which regulate neuroendocrine and other homeostatic functions. This meeting is of timely importance because it is now clear that the lifespan and the function of brain neurons are modulated by agents in the blood. While the blood-brain barrier is believed to protect the brain from many direct influences, there is clear evidence that many circulatory agents exert control over the development and maturation of neurons. The meeting will address this crucial problem in a format which provides for integration of data from many different disciplines. The proceedings of this important meeting will published.
