DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Neurobehavioral Teratology Society (NBTS) is to foster the science of determining the neural mechanisms and persisting behavioral consequences of developmental exposure to toxicants. Our annual meeting (this is the 34th) is held for all in the field to communicate their latest research findings to their colleagues for continuing education and critical evaluation and to provide a forum for discussion of the current progress and directions for the future. NBTS would like to conduct a symposium with its annual meeting June 22-24, 2010 in Louisville, KY entitled "Complementary Zebrafish Models for Neurobehavioral Teratology Research: Opportunities and Challenges." This symposium will provide the latest information concerning the use of zebrafish models as complementary models for developmental neurobehavioral toxicology research. The speakers will include nationally renowned researchers. This symposium will provide integration of mechanistic research with animal models of neurobehavioral function. The proposed speakers for the symposium are Edward Levin, Duke University Medical Center, Robert Gerlai, University of Toronto, Lori White, Rutgers University, Frank Scalzo, Bard College, Stephanie Padilla, US- Environmental Protection Agency, and Robert Tanguay, Oregon State University. Recent breakthroughs and research challenges will be discussed so that an intelligent agenda for neurobehavioral toxicology research in the area can be devised. The audience will be scientists active in developmental neurobehavioral toxicology research. Bringing the intellectual resources and research methods of the scientists in this field to use zebrafish models will greatly enhance our ability to characterize risks that may be posed by exposure to environmental toxicants. The forum will provide an opportunity for methodological and theoretical issues to be integrated in the context of each talk as well as in a discussion session. Funding is needed for meeting logistical support, travel, costs of the venue and accommodations. Importantly, for continuing progress we ask for support of students and post-doctoral trainees to participate in the meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The symposium entitled "Complementary Zebrafish Models for Neurobehavioral Teratology Research: Opportunities and Challenges" will be held in the annual meeting of the Neurobehavioral Teratology Society (NBTS) annual meeting June 22-24, 2010 in Louisville, KY. This symposium will provide the attendees the latest information about the usefulness of the zebrafish model for mechanistic and screening studies concerning developmental neurobehavioral toxicity. This is a timely symposium to convey important information about this emerging complementary research model for neurobehavioral teratology.

描述（由申请人提供）：神经行为的目的（NBTS）的目的是培养确定神经机制和发育暴露于有毒物质的行为后果的科学。我们的年度会议（这是第34届）将为该领域的所有人举行，以将其最新的研究结果传达给同事继续教育和批判性评估，并为讨论当前的进步和未来方向提供论坛。 NBTS希望在2010年6月22日至24日在肯塔基州路易斯维尔举行的年度会议举办一场研讨会，名为“神经行为互补的斑马鱼模型研究：机遇和挑战”。该研讨会将提供有关使用斑马鱼模型作为发育神经行为毒理学研究的补充模型的最新信息。演讲者将包括全国知名的研究人员。该研讨会将提供机械研究与神经行为功能的动物模型的整合。研讨会的拟议发言人是爱德华·莱文（Edward Levin），杜克大学医学中心，罗伯特·格莱（Robert Gerlai），多伦多大学，洛里·怀特（Lori White），罗格斯大学（Rutgers University），弗兰克·斯卡尔佐（Frank Scalzo），巴德学院，斯蒂芬妮·帕迪拉（Stephanie Padilla），美国环境保护局和俄勒冈州立大学罗伯特·泰格（Robert Tanguay）。将讨论最近的突破和研究挑战，以便可以设计该地区神经行为毒理学研究的智能议程。观众将是活跃于发育神经行为毒理学研究的科学家。将该领域的科学家的智力资源和研究方法带入使用斑马鱼模型将极大地增强我们表征可能通过暴露于环境有毒物质带来的风险的能力。该论坛将为方法论和理论问题提供一个机会，并在每个谈话的背景下以及在讨论会议上集成。需要资金来满足后勤支持，旅行，场地成本和住宿。重要的是，为了持续的进展，我们要求学生和博士后学员参加会议。 公共卫生相关性：题为“神经行为互补的斑马鱼模型研究：机遇与挑战”的座谈会将在2010年6月22日至24日在2010年6月22日至24日在肯塔基州路易斯维尔举行。该研讨会将为与会者提供有关斑马鱼模型在机械和筛查研究中有关发育神经行为毒性的有用性的最新信息。这是一项及时的研讨会，用于传达有关这种新兴神经行为研究模型的重要信息。
