SYMPOSIUM ON EFFECTS OF INJURY ON SOMATOSENSORY SYSTEMS

体感生理学和口腔生理学委员会 国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)建议举办一次 联合主办了为期3天的卫星会议，紧随1986年世界杯之后 在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的IUPS大会上，审议 体感系统对损伤的反应。这次会议的目的是使 基础和临床科学家一起积极研究 脊柱和三叉神经系统的损伤提供了一种状态 对两个系统中获得的知识进行科学审查和整合。一个 对卫星会议议题进行深入和综合审查， 包括对争议的讨论和对大多数 可能采取的有利可图和富有成效的方向和方法 未来的研究早该进行了，有几个原因：(1) 以前没有任何会议或出版物专门讨论这一主题，以及 涉及三叉神经和脊柱研究人员的密切互动；(2) 现在存在一个临界质量，不仅仅是脊椎体感觉 研究人员也是三叉神经科学家，他们做出了重要的贡献， 对主题的基本贡献；(3)积累了许多新知识 数据表明，神经损伤会导致中枢神经系统和 整合这些数据的必要性；(4)病理生理学 这些发现与表现为精神障碍的临床情况之间的相关性 躯体感觉和运动功能(例如，慢性疼痛)可能由 外周或中枢性损伤及其与基础性损伤的一般相关性 关于学习、记忆、发育、可塑性和再生的知识 和修复神经系统；以及(5)需要解决有争议的问题 问题，找出我们知识中未回答的问题和差距，并 为未来的调查探索最有成效的方法。

The Somatosensory Physiology and Oral Physiology Commissions of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) propose to hold a jointly sponsored 3-day satellite meeting, immediately after the 1986 World Congress of the IUPS in Vancouver, B.C., to consider The Response of the Somatosensory System to Injury. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together basic and clinical scientists actively studying the effects of injury on the spinal and trigeminal systems to provide a state of the science review and integration of knowledge obtained in both systems. An in-depth and integrated review of the topic of the satellite meeting, including discussions of controversies and identification of the most profitable and productive directions and approaches that might be adopted in future research is long overdue and justified for several reasons: (1) the lack of any previous meeting or publication devoted to this topic and involving the close interaction of trigeminal and spinal researchers; (2) the existence now of a critical mass not only of spinal somatosensory researchers but also trigeminal scientists who have made important, fundamental contributions to the topic; (3) the accumulation of much new data indicating that neural injury can lead to alterations in the CNS and the need for integration of these data; (4) the pathophysiological relevance of the findings to clinical conditions manifesting disorders of somatosensory and motor functions (e.g., chronic pain) that may result from peripheral or central injury, and their general relevance to basic knowledge of learning, memory, development, plasticity, and regeneration and repair of the nervous system; and (5) the need to resolve controversial issues, to identify unanswered questions and gaps in our knowledge, and to explore the most fruitful approaches for future investigations.
