The Sixth International Congress on Schizophrenia Research (ICOSR) took place in Colorado Springs, Colorado, April 12-16, 1997, where over 1,000 scientists presented and listened to the latest developments in the search for the cause and treatment of schizophrenia. The ICOSR is sponsored by Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, Case Western Reserve University, and the William K. Warren Foundation. The National Institute of Mental Health and several pharmaceutical companies contributed generously to the meeting. The ICOSR is co-organized by Dr. Carol A. Tamminga, Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, University of Maryland at Baltimore, and Dr. S. Charles Schulz, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. The William K. Warren Research Award is given to a senior investigator, who has made outstanding contributions to our understanding of schizophrenia. The fifth William K. Warren Research Award was presented to Dr. Philip S. Holzman in recognition of his contributions to the identification of eye-tracking abnormalities as a potential phenotypic marker of the illness and also in recognition of his work as a lifelong mentor for schizophrenia researchers. The ICOSR Young Investigator Awards are presented to junior investigators who have demonstrated the potential to make significant contributions to research on schizophrenia. These awards promote scientific development by enabling these young researchers to attend the meeting. There were 30 Young Investigator Award winners. The ICOSR meeting is organized into four sessions: (1) a morning plenary session; (2) a plenary lecture; (3) a poster session; and (4) concurrent afternoon oral sessions. The morning plenary sessions are comprised of a set of 30-minute lectures, which provide an overview of a particular topic area relevant to schizophrenia research. The plenary lecture is an invited lecture on a basic topic related to current research efforts in schizophrenia. The poster sessions provide a forum for the presentation of prepublication reports of basic and clinical science projects. The afternoon sessions are a collection of approximately 10 focused presentations on current research projects related to a specific topic area. The purpose of this report is to provide an account of the proceedings from the plenary and afternoon oral sessions.
第六届国际精神分裂症研究大会（ICOSR）于1997年4月12日至16日在科罗拉多州科罗拉多斯普林斯市举行，1000多名科学家在会上展示并聆听了精神分裂症病因及治疗方面的最新进展。ICOSR由马里兰精神病研究中心、凯斯西储大学和威廉·K·沃伦基金会赞助。美国国立精神卫生研究所和几家制药公司为此次会议慷慨提供了资助。ICOSR由马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校马里兰精神病研究中心的卡罗尔·A·塔明加博士和俄亥俄州克利夫兰市凯斯西储大学的S·查尔斯·舒尔茨博士共同组织。威廉·K·沃伦研究奖授予一位资深研究者，该研究者在我们对精神分裂症的理解方面做出了杰出贡献。第五届威廉·K·沃伦研究奖授予菲利普·S·霍尔兹曼博士，以表彰他在将眼动异常确定为该疾病潜在表型标志物方面所做的贡献，以及他作为精神分裂症研究人员的终身导师所做的工作。ICOSR青年研究者奖授予已展现出对精神分裂症研究做出重大贡献潜力的初级研究者。这些奖项通过让这些年轻研究人员参加会议来促进科学发展。共有30位青年研究者奖获得者。ICOSR会议分为四个环节：（1）上午全体会议；（2）一场全会演讲；（3）海报展示环节；（4）下午并行口头报告环节。上午全体会议由一系列30分钟的讲座组成，这些讲座概述了与精神分裂症研究相关的特定主题领域。全会演讲是一场关于与精神分裂症当前研究工作相关的基础主题的特邀演讲。海报展示环节为基础和临床科学项目的预发表报告提供了展示平台。下午的环节是一系列约10场关于与特定主题领域相关的当前研究项目的重点报告。本报告的目的是介绍全体会议和下午口头报告环节的会议进程。
