Symposium: Structure, Development and Phylogeny of Cranial Nerves; Atlanta, GA; December 1991

“脑神经的结构、发育和系统发育”研讨会高度关注脑神经的各种功能成分的神经支配模式和胚胎起源。在这一领域有相当多的研究，但还没有一个大型研讨会将各种研究结果结合在一起。这将通过将不同的比较脊椎动物生物学家聚集在一起提供一个论坛来展示新的发现，并能够比较不同谱系之间脑神经的差异来实现这一点。这应该会导致对同源性的更好解释。研讨会的结果将被公布和广泛分发-这可能比研讨会本身的讨论更重要。该项目确实包括两名研究生，他们的支持是值得的。

The symposium "Structure, Development and Phylogeny of Cranial Nerves" is highly focused on innervation patterns and embryonic origins of the various functional components of the cranial nerves. There is considerable research in this area, and there has not been a major symposium bringing the diversity of findings together. This will be accomplished by bringing various comparative vertebrate biologists together to provide a forum for the presentation of new findings and to be able to compare differences in cranial nerves among the various lineages. This should lead to a better interpretation of homology. The results of the symposium will be published and widely distributed---this may be even more important than the discussion at the symposium itself. The program does include two graduate students and their support is worthwhile.
