Program and Abstracts for the Seventh Meeting of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms

摘要

With partial support from AFOSR, the Seventh Meeting of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) took place in Jacksonville, Florida, May 10-13, 2000. More than 280 scientific papers and symposia were presented. There was strong participation by graduate students, especially in the poster sessions. Review lectures and tutorials were given on the current state of knowledge on topics such as Molecular Approaches to Circadian Clocks, Sleep Methodology, and Chronotheraputics. A session on The Genetic Basis of Circadian Sleep Regulation was held to inform scientists who are not SRBR members, but whose work draws upon this field. Abstracts from the meeting were published in a 167-page book provided to all registrants. The SRBR executive committee responsible for this meeting was composed of Jay C. Dunlap (Dartmouth), Rae Silver (Columbia), Carl Johnson (Vanderbilt), Terry Page (Vanderbilt), Serge Daan (Rijksuniversiteit, Gronigen), Fred Davis (Northwestern), and Eberhard Gwinner (Max Planck Institut fur Verhaltenphysiologie).
