To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), a symposium was organized for the III Congress of the World Federation of Neuroscientists in Montreal to present, on 7 August 1991, the recollections of some of the early participants in IBRO's history and to place it in the context of other significant world organizations. Edited and slightly condensed transcripts of the talks together with the discussions are presented. L. Marshall reviewed the antecedent conferences that led to the Moscow Colloquium in 1958 and the subsequent formation of IBRO with UNESCO support. The ambience of that period for scientific organization on an international level was discussed by W. A. Rosenblith who emphasized how IBRO goals fitted into the rising interest in brain and behavior research. The scientific careers of six past executive secretaries were briefly reviewed by P. Gloor, with special tribute to the first, Herbert Jasper. One of IBRO's major achievements, the world survey of resources and needs in brain research, was described first-hand by G. Krauthamer. To discuss IBRO's image, C. Blakemore invoked the travails of reorganization and recovery from a period of inactivity. Finally, placing IBRO in a national and international context, S. Cozzens presented the perspective of the historian of sociology on an upbeat note.
为庆祝国际脑研究组织（IBRO）成立30周年，于1991年8月7日在蒙特利尔为世界神经科学家联合会第三届大会组织了一场研讨会，会上，一些IBRO历史早期的参与者分享了回忆，并将其置于其他重要世界组织的背景中进行探讨。现呈现经过编辑并略有压缩的演讲及讨论记录。L. 马歇尔回顾了促成1958年莫斯科学术讨论会及随后在联合国教科文组织支持下成立IBRO的前期会议。W. A. 罗森布利特讨论了那个时期国际层面科学组织的氛围，强调了IBRO的目标如何契合当时对脑与行为研究日益增长的兴趣。P. 格洛尔简要回顾了六位前任执行秘书的科学职业生涯，并特别向首位执行秘书赫伯特·贾斯珀致敬。G. 克劳特哈默尔亲身描述了IBRO的一项主要成就——脑研究资源与需求的全球调查。为探讨IBRO的形象，C. 布莱克莫尔提及了一段停滞期后的重组与复苏的艰辛历程。最后，S. 科曾斯以乐观的态度从社会学历史学家的视角将IBRO置于国家和国际背景中进行了阐述。
