International Behavioral Neuroscience Society Meeting

描述(申请人提供)：本提案申请资金支持 国际行为神经科学学会第十届年会 (IBNS)将于2001年4月25日至29日在墨西哥昆塔纳罗奥的坎昆举行。 本提案所要求的资金用于支持青年调查员的旅行 奖励，报销被邀请的研讨会演讲者的费用，并支付部分 与出版会议摘要有关的费用。 2001年会议格式包括总统讲话(杰奎琳·克劳利 关于甘丙素在学习和记忆中的作用；使用转基因小鼠)，两个主旨 演讲(Mark Geyer关于感觉运动门控；Stephen Wood关于代谢 信号和食物摄入量)，与会者进行了5分钟的幻灯片“闪电战”演示 令人兴奋的新数据，以及五个特别研讨会：(转基因和基因敲除小鼠： 行为神经科学的强大工具；喂养和体重调节： 行为神经科学中的反义寡核苷酸； ADHO的还原论多巴胺假说：高、低，还是两者兼而有之？动物 与年龄相关的认知功能障碍模型)。科学交流是 口头演示和海报演示。特别利益会议是 由学生成员设计(例如，助学金撰写研讨会；工作 科学相关领域的机会等)。除了正式的 科学计划，另外三个计划帮助执行 社会。首先，青年调查员旅游大奖项目赞助商前和 博士后参加会议，努力教育和 培养正在发展中的行为神经科学的年轻科学家。一秒钟， 最近设立的计划是“公众讲座”系列，其中一个 协会成员以当地语言向 托管社区帮助提高对基本知识重要性的认识 研究及其相关性。第三个项目是颁奖晚宴项目 在哪里，旅行奖获得者和迈尔斯终身奖的获得者 行为神经科学成就奖揭晓。 IBNS的成立是为了鼓励在以下领域的研究和教育 行为神经科学。IBNS成立于1992年，目前约有600家 成员来自33个不同的国家，由科学家、临床医生、 教师和其他有背景和兴趣的人之间的关系 大脑和行为。IBNS由一位民选总统管理， 官员，一个代表大约7个国家的民选理事会，包括 学生会成员2名，常务委员会13名。中央办公厅 IBNS位于美国。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funds to support the Tenth Annual Meeting of The International Behavioral Neuroscience Society's (IBNS) that will be held in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, April 25-29, 2001. The funds requested in this proposal are to support Young Investigator Travel Awards, reimburse expenses for invited symposium speakers, and defray some of the expenses associated with the publication of the meeting abstracts. The 2001 meeting format includes the Presidential Address (Jacqueline Crawley on galanin in learning and memory; using transgenic mice), two Keynote Addresses (Mark Geyer on sensorimotor-gating; Stephen Woods on metabolic signals and food intake), a Slide "Blitz" 5 min presentations by attendees of exciting new data, and five Special Symposia: (Transgenic and Knockout Mice: Powerful Tools for Behavioral Neuroscience; Feeding and Body Weight Regulation: Current Perspectives; Antisense Oligonucleotides in Behavioral Neuroscience; The Reductionistic Dopamine Hypothesis of ADHO: Hyper, Hypo, or Both? Animal Models of Age-Related Cognitive Dysfunctions). Scientific communications are Oral Presentations and Poster Presentations. Special Interest Sessions are designed by the student members (e.g., grant writing workshops; job opportunities in science-related areas, etc.). In addition to the formal scientific program, three additional programs help carry out the mission of the Society. First, a Young Investigator Travel Awards Program sponsors pre- and post-doctoral students to attend the meeting in an effort to educate and nurture developing young scientists in behavioral neuroscience. A second, recently instituted program is the "Public Lecture" series, where one of the members of the Society delivers a public lecture in the local language to the hosting community to help increase awareness of the importance of basic research and it's relevance. A third program is the Awards Banquet Program where, the Travel Awardees are honored and the recipient of the Myers Lifetime Achievement Award in Behavioral Neuroscience is announced. The IBNS was formed to encourage research and education in the field of behavioral neuroscience. Founded in 1992, the IBNS has approximately 600 members from 33 different countries and consists of scientists, clinicians, teachers and others with a background and interest in the relationship between the brain and behavior. The IBNS is governed by an elected president and officers, an elected council representing approximately 7 countries, including 2 student council members, and 13 standing committees. The Central Office of the IBNS is located in the United States.
