The beautiful town of Cavtat near Dubvronic, Yugoslavia was the
site of the twelfth meeting of the International Foundation for
Biochemical Endocrinology. It was sponsored by the Serbian Academy
for Sciences and Arts and by the Foundation. The Croatia Hotel in
Cavtat was a splendid place for a meeting. The presentation of the
subject matter relating to "Neuroendocrine Correlates of Stress"
was interesting and informa tive. The topics included many forms of
stress, their mediators and responses. They included: releasing
factors; neurotransmitters in the hypothalamus; role of noradrenal
ine; the reaction of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis
to stress; immunological stress; thermal stress; immobil ization
stress; peptides in shock; stress-induced prolactin; stress and
acupuncture; stress and behavior; spinal cord transection and
stress; electroconvulsive stress; neuroendocrine cells and stress;
protein kinase as a signal transducer; the effects of constant 1
ight and darkness on the pineal; sleep, stress and ovarian
function; and finally, hormonal response to exercise. Subsequently,
the papers presented were rewritten for inclusion in this
monograph. The Chairmen for the sessions at Cavtat were K. McKerns
and Stefan Manolov, V. Chong-Li and L. Rakic, S. Feldman and R. Mil
in, M. Lee and V. Liposits. The next meeting of the Foundation will
be held in Edinburgh near the end of September, 1985. The topic
will be "Neuroendocrine Molecular Biology" with Professor George
Fink as Honorary Chairman of the local organizing committee."
