This volume comprises the edited proceedings of the International
Taurine Sympo sium held in Osaka, Japan, in June 1995, as a
Satellite Symposium of the 15th Biennial of the International
Society for Neurochemistry. This Taurine Symposium was the Meeting
latest in a series held since 1975 at approximately two-year
intervals by an informal group of international researchers. It
attracted contributions from 20 countries, ranging from Armenia via
Finland and Spain to the United States. Some 121 participants
attended. The Symposium was organized and chaired by Junichi Azuma,
University of Osaka. Other members of the Organizing Committee in
Japan consisted of Kinya Kuriyama and Masao Nakagawa, both from the
Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, and Akemichi Baba, from
Osaka University. The Committee had to contend with the disaster of
the Kobe earthquake, which struck on January 21. The epicenter was
only around 25 miles from the meeting site, and the quake
demolished the home of one Committee member. Despite this
unnaturally natural handicap, the participants experienced a
superbly organized meeting, one which more than maintained the high
social and scientific standards established for this series. In his
Welcome Message, Dr. Azuma listed a threefold objective for the
Symposium: To provide a forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of
information on taurine; to give an opportunity for renewing old
friendships and making new friends; and to promote coopera tion
among participants from around the world."
