CONTROVERSIES IN NEUROSCIENCE

在过去的十年里，神经科学的学科已经失败了， 为了跟上科学家和研究人员数量的快速增长， 技术，以及做研究的成本。 科学家们变得越来越 使他们更难与其他人分享信息， 神经科学家研究不同层次的神经系统， 用不同的技术 科学会议通常无法确定 关键研究领域或有效传播这些信息。 我们提议召开年度会议，每年重点讨论有争议或有争议的问题 神经科学领域的一个悬而未决的问题。 年度 本申请中要求提供资金的项目，会议将 重点：神经移植（1991年），和G蛋白偶联受体在 神经系统（1992） 会议的形式是仿照行为和脑科学。一 科学杂志，专门从事有争议的立场文件， 同行评审评论。 每一个8，45分钟的"目标"介绍 接下来是45分钟的讨论。 本次会议的程序 会议将作为《行为与大脑》的特别版出版。 科学

Over the last decade, the scientific discipline of neuroscience has failed to keep up with the rapid growth in the numbers of scientists and research techniques, and in the cost of doing research. Scientists have become more focused, making it more difficult for them to share information with other neuroscientists who work with a different level of the nervous system or with different techniques. Scientific meetings generally fail to identify critical research areas or to effectively disseminate this information. We propose an annual conference that focuses each year on controversial or unresolved issues in a particular field of neuroscience. During the years for which funding is requested in this application, the conference will focus on: neural transplantation (1991), and G-protein-coupled receptors in the nervous system (1992). The conference format is modeled on Behavioral and Brain Science. a scientific journal that specializes in controversial position papers with peer review commentary. Each of the 8, 45-minute "target" presentations will be followed by a 45-minute discussion period. The proceedings of this conference will be published as a special edition of Behavioral and Brain Science.
