Conference Symposium: Recent Developments in Neurobiology

我们将举办一场名为“神经生物学的最新发展”的年度研讨会，并将在综合与比较生物学学会(SICB)的年度会议上发表。RDN研讨会使用了一种新颖的演讲形式--“背包式”演讲，受邀实验室的负责人在60分钟的演讲中提供前25分钟的演讲，讨论实验室研究的总体意义领域。接下来的25分钟由实验室的初级成员介绍，通常是高级研究生或博士后，他提供关于实验室当前活动的具体信息。最后10分钟用于常见的问答时间。研讨会论文将发表在学会的期刊《综合与比较生物学》上，其中一个目标是为该专业的受训成员提供经验，包括在全国会议上发表研讨会报告/参加会议。另一种做法是将这些人及其工作暴露给潜在雇主。研讨会还试图通过期刊论文向神经科学界提供一套最近出版的综述论文。

We will conduct an ongoing annual symposium entitled, "Recent Developments in Neurobiology (RDN)," to be presented at the annual meetings of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB). The RDN symposia uses a novel form of presentation-"piggy-back" talks, in which the head of the invited laboratory provides the first twenty-five minutes of a sixty-minute talk to discuss the general area of significance of the laboratory's research. The next twenty-five minute block is presented by a junior member of the laboratory, usually an advanced graduate student or post-doc, who gives specific information about the laboratory's current activities. The final ten minutes are devoted to a common question/answer period. The symposium papers will be published in the Society's journal, Integrative and Comparative Biology.One of the goals of the "piggy-back" format is to provide experience to in-training members of the profession, in terms of symposium presentation/participation at a national meeting. Another is to expose these individuals, and their work, to potential employers. The symposium also seeks to provide a set of recent printed review papers to the Neuroscience community through the journal papers.
