DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Serotonin Club is an international organization of about 650 biomedical scientists interested in research on serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine). The Serotonin Club is an authorized affiliate of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacological Societies (IUPHAR) and sponsors satellite meetings to the IUPHAR Congresses every 4 years. The next meeting will be held at Hokkaido University in Sapporo Japan June 27-30, 2006 as an official satellite of the 2006 World Congress of IUPHAR to be held in Beijing China. The overall goal of this program is to conduct an international meeting on serotonin research that will be of the highest possible scientific quality in order to attract and educate both young and senior investigators. The primary specific aim of this application is to provide financial support to young investigators to enable them to attend and participate in the Serotonin Club Meeting and thereby foster their careers in serotonin research. This year, 16 symposia including four speakers each will cover the full range of new findings regarding serotonin. Serotonin research is very relevant to human health, being germane to substance abuse, pain, cardiovascular systems, and digestive processes, and especially mental health. It is striking that serotonergic drugs are central to treatments of depression, schizophrenia, OCD, mania, anxiety, eating disorders, panic, and PTSD. Nevertheless, additional opportunities exist for novel therapeutics based on compounds having selective actions at specific serotonin receptors and that are only now being explored with new pharmacological tools. Serotonin Club meetings are typically the first place that leading scientists present their newest findings relevant to novel drug discovery and target validations involving serotonergic mechanisms. Accordingly, attendance and participation in the IUPHAR Serotonin Satellite meetings are often singular opportunities in the early careers of young investigators working on serotonin-related problems. Hence, support that would enable neuroscientists-in-training to attend the forthcoming Serotonin Meeting in Sapporo will have a positive influence on young investigators and in turn will have a lasting impact on the field. The Serotonin Club, an international organization of biomedical scientists interested in research on the neurotransmitter serotonin, organizes scientific meetings every other year. This application seeks support to enable young investigators to participate in the 2006 Serotonin Club Meeting. Serotonin research is important to substance abuse, pain, cardiovascular systems, digestive processes, and especially mental health. Serotonergic drugs are used to treat depression, schizophrenia, mania, anxiety, eating disorders, panic, and PTSD. Serotonin Club meetings are typically the first place that scientists present their newest discoveries about novel serotonergic drugs. Hence, helping neuroscientists-in-training attend the meeting will have a positive influence on trainees and a lasting impact on the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：5-羟色胺俱乐部是一个国际组织，该组织对5-羟色胺（5-羟色胺）的研究感兴趣。 5-羟色胺俱乐部是国际基础和临床药理学协会（IUPHAR）的授权分支机构，并赞助每4年参加IUPHAR大会的卫星会议。下一届会议将于2006年6月27日至30日在日本萨波罗大学举行，是2006年伊普哈尔世界大会的正式卫星，将于中国举行。该计划的总体目标是举办有关5-羟色胺研究的国际会议，该会议将是最高的科学质量，以吸引和教育年轻和高级研究人员。本申请的主要目的是为年轻的研究人员提供财政支持，以使他们能够参加并参加5-羟色胺俱乐部会议，从而促进他们的职业生涯。今年，16个研讨会在内，包括四个演讲者，每个演讲者都将涵盖有关5-羟色胺的全部新发现。 5-羟色胺研究与人类健康非常相关，与滥用药物，疼痛，心血管系统和消化过程，尤其是心理健康相关。令人惊讶的是，血清素能药物对抑郁症，精神分裂症，强迫症，躁狂症，焦虑，饮食失调，恐慌和PTSD的治疗至关重要。然而，基于在特定的5-羟色胺受体中具有选择性作用的化合物的新型治疗剂的额外机会，并且直到使用新的药理学工具才能探索它们。 5-羟色胺俱乐部会议通常是领先科学家提出与新的药物发现和涉及血清素能机制的目标验证有关的最新发现的第一名。因此，参加IUPHAR 5-羟色胺卫星会议的出席和参与通常是从事与5-羟色胺相关问题的年轻调查人员的早期职业生涯中的单一机会。因此，将使培训的神经科学家能够参加即将举行的萨波罗的5-羟色胺会议的支持将对年轻的调查人员产生积极的影响，进而将对该领域产生持久的影响。 5-羟色胺俱乐部是对神经递质5-羟色胺研究感兴趣的国际生物医学科学家组织，每隔一年就组织科学会议。该申请寻求支持，使年轻的研究人员能够参加2006年5-羟色胺俱乐部会议。 5-羟色胺研究对于滥用药物，疼痛，心血管系统，消化过程，尤其是心理健康很重要。血清素能药物用于治疗抑郁症，精神分裂症，躁狂症，焦虑，饮食失调，恐慌和PTSD。 5-羟色胺俱乐部会议通常是科学家提出有关新颖血清素能药物的最新发现的第一次。因此，帮助培训的神经科学家参加会议将对学员产生积极影响，并对该领域产生持久影响。
