A COMPARATIVE SYMPOSIUM ON NEUROMUSCULAR INTERACTION

建议在1985年12月的巴尔的摩会议上举行一次专题讨论会， 美国动物学家协会 要探讨的话题是肌肉纤维 作为神经肌肉相互作用的生物测定。 题目及时到期 到最近用于研究肌肉纤维的技术爆炸 类型及其与脊椎动物和 无脊椎动物 在这个领域提出的有趣的问题 今天涉及调节相互作用的分子机制。 专题讨论会将采取比较的办法， 在建立神经对肌肉纤维特性的影响方面， 脊椎动物和节肢动物的肌肉。 本次研讨会提出， 现代肌纤维分型方法及其在 回答关于周围神经-肌肉相互作用的机械问题 在脊椎动物和节肢动物中。 这种比较方法将 从两组无关的神经肌肉系统中收集信息， 生物体，其中差异往往被强调，基本和一般 周围神经-肌肉相互作用的相似性并不总是 赞赏. 这样的专题讨论会以前没有举行过，也没有出版过。

A symposium is proposed for the December 1985 Baltimore meeting of the American Society of Zoologists. The topic to be explored is muscle fiber typing as a bioassay of nerve muscle interaction. The topic is timely due to the recent explosion of techniques being used to study muscle fiber types and their relationship to neuronal interaction in both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. The interesting questions being posed in this field today relate to the molecular mechanisms of the regulatory interaction. The symposium will take a comparative approach as significant progress has been made in establishing neural influences on muscle fiber properties in both vertebrate and arthropod muscle. This symposium proposes discussion and assimilation of modern muscle fiber typing methods and their use in answering mechanistic questions about peripheral nerve-muscle interaction in both vertebrates and arthropods. This comparative approach will assemble information on neuromuscular systems from two groups of unrelated organisms, where differences have often been stressed and basic and general similarities in peripheral nerve-muscle interaction have not always been appreciated. Such a symposium has not been held or published previously.
