9th International Symposium on Catecholamines and Other Neurotransmitters in Stress |
|
|
 This symposium will provide an international forum for bringing together for basic and clinical investigators, healthcare professionals, and students from around the world, all with a common interest in stress. This will facilitate the forging of new and improved collaborations, inter-disciplinary studies, and concerted, comprehensive approaches to resolve the outstanding scientific and medical problems associated with stress and stress-related disorders.
The symposium will encompass a number of themes in several sessions:
(1) functional neuroanatomy of stress response; (2) brain monoamines
and neuropeptides in stress; (3) molecular genetics of neurotransmitter
enzymes in stress; (4) molecular genetics of stress hormones; (5)
transcriptional regulation of heart function in stress; (6)
neuroendocrine regulations in stress and their molecular biological
basis; (7) stress hormone receptors; (8) stress, adaptation and
metabolism; and (9) clinical aspects of stress-induced changes in
neurotransmitter and hormone systems. Emphasis in all sessions will be
on selection of oral presentations of new and important unpublished
findings.
The proceedings of this symposium will be published as a volume of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
