Symposium on the Neuroethology of the Mauthner System to be held in West Berlin, Germany, September 10-16, 1989

这一行动是为了支持8名美国人的旅行费用。 将参加1989年会议的科学家 国际神经行为学学会将在西 柏林。 这组科学家将为我们提供科学的 论文的神经和行为原则的独特的 逃避反应，涉及鱼类的Mauthner神经元， 两栖动物 Mauthner系统在所有的 脊椎动物，并在控制 例如身体的运动和方向的运动。 是 一个非常简单的系统，类似于网状脊髓 包括人类在内的哺乳动物中发现的系统。 将巩固我们对Mauthner系统的了解， 和人类一样的网状脊髓功能

This action is to support the travel costs of eight U.S. scientists who will be participating in the 1989 meeting of the International Society for Neuroethology to be held in West Berlin. This group of scientists will be delivering scientific papers on the neural and behavioral principles of the distinctive escape response that involves the Mauthner neurons of fish and amphibians. The Mauthner system is conserved among all the vertebrates and plays a fundamental role in the control of movements such as locomotion and orientation of the body. It is a very simple system which is analogous to the reticulospinal system found in mammals, including man. The symposium to be held will consolidate our knowledge of the Mauthner system as a model for reticulospinal function as found in man.
