It is axiomatic that the diversity and ingenuity of strategies in the study of schizophrenia bear testimony to the complexity of this disorder. Accordingly, the opportunity for investigators of diverse interests to share their latest findings and be informed of developments in key areas of science is critical to advance our understanding of schizophrenia. Nearly 700 investigators from around the world gathered at Warm Springs, Va, to present their data at the Fifth International Congress on Schizophrenia Research (April 8-12, 1995). This 5-day conference, held every other year alternating with the European Winter Workshop on Schizophrenia, is co-organized by S. Charles Schulz, MD, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, and Carol Tamminga, MD, Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, University of Maryland at Baltimore. Drs Schulz and Tamminga first held the Congress in 1987 in Clearwater, Fla, with 170 investigators presenting. The Congress has flourished since then and is now the largest research meeting devoted solely to schizophrenia. The Congress organizers, the program coordinator (Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, Hillside Hospital, Glen Oaks, NY), and the Congress coordinator (Susan Nusbaum, Maryland Psychiatric Research Center) are congratulated on the success of this event and its contribution to fostering initiatives and collaborations within schizophrenia research.
不言而喻，精神分裂症研究中策略的多样性和独创性证明了这种疾病的复杂性。因此，不同领域的研究人员分享其最新发现并了解关键科学领域进展的机会，对于增进我们对精神分裂症的理解至关重要。来自世界各地的近700名研究人员齐聚弗吉尼亚州温泉城，在第五届国际精神分裂症研究大会（1995年4月8日至12日）上展示他们的数据。这个为期5天的会议每隔一年举行一次，与欧洲精神分裂症冬季研讨会交替进行，由俄亥俄州克利夫兰市凯斯西储大学的医学博士S.查尔斯·舒尔茨和马里兰州巴尔的摩市马里兰大学马里兰精神病学研究中心的医学博士卡罗尔·塔明加共同组织。舒尔茨博士和塔明加博士于1987年在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特首次举办了该大会，当时有170名研究人员发表报告。从那时起，该大会蓬勃发展，现在已成为专门针对精神分裂症的最大规模研究会议。大会组织者、项目协调员（纽约州格伦奥克斯市希尔赛德医院的医学博士杰弗里·利伯曼）和大会协调员（马里兰精神病学研究中心的苏珊·努斯鲍姆）为此次活动的成功及其对促进精神分裂症研究领域的倡议和合作所做出的贡献而受到祝贺。
