NEURAL MECHANISMS FOR GENERATING LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY

描述：会议将在纽约学院的主持下举行 1998年3月，《纽约科学》，关注运动的神经基础。 会议将持续三天，包括来自两个国家的31名发言者 北美和国外。 会议将对所有人开放，每个人都可以参加。 演讲者将提供一份文件，该文件将作为《世界报》特刊出版。 纽约艺术学院年鉴 将有几个海报会议， 在会议中容纳各种各样的主题。 的新颖方面 这些海报会议是会议主席将参观 通过海报，让每个海报演示者1-2分钟 介绍后，对海报进行3分钟的讨论。 会话开始时，将介绍每个 最具特色的电动发电机系统：从软体动物到青蛙。 下一次会议将提出新的结果，从电机系统在更高的 脊椎动物，使用电生理记录和活动依赖 在小鸡、海龟和哺乳动物身上。 以后的会议将审查 神经递质和传入神经对运动发生器的控制 输入，发电机系统建模，分子决定因素， 模式发生器的组件，电机系统的开发，以及 最后是运动和康复的临床方面。

DESCRIPTION: The meeting, to be held under the auspices of the NY Academy of Sciences in NYC, March 1998, concerns the neural basis of locomotion. The meeting will last for three days and includes 31 speakers from both North America and abroad. The meeting will be open to everyone, and each speaker will provide a paper which will be published as a special issue of the Annals of the NYAS. There will be several poster sessions to accommodate the wide variety of topics in the meeting. A novel aspect of these poster sessions is that the session chairperson will make a tour through the posters, allowing each poster-presenter a 1-2 minute presentation followed by a 3 minute discussion of the poster. The sessions begin with a description and new results from each of the best-characterized motor generator systems: from mollusks through frogs. The next session will present new results from motor systems in higher vertebrates, using electrophysiological recordings and activity-dependent imaging, in chicks, turtles, and mammals. Later sessions will examine control of locomotion generators by both neurotransmitters and afferent input, modeling of generator systems, molecular determinants of the components of pattern generators, the development of motor systems, and finally clinical aspects of locomotion and rehabilitation.
