In der modernen Hirnforschung wurden bahnbrechende Entdeckungen gemacht. Die sogenannte Plastizitat des menschlichen Gehirns bedeutet, dass es lebenslang veranderbar, ausbaubar, anpassungsfahig ist. Sogar die Masse der Gehirnzellen ist, entgegengesetzt der fruheren Auffassung der Wissenschaftler, nicht endgultig festgelegt, sondern kann im Verlauf des Lebens noch zunehmen. Nach den neuesten Erkenntnissen der Hirnforscher hat die Art und Weise der Nutzung des Gehirns einen entscheidenden Einfluss darauf, welche neuronalen Verschaltungen angelegt und stabilisiert oder auch destabilisiert...

This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth Meeting of the "International Study Group for Tryptophan Research" (lSTRY), held at the University of Hamburg, Germany, from October 10 to 14, 1998. At this meeting the recent developments in the field of tryptophan research were presented by leading researchers from all over the world in 81 oral and 48 poster contri- butions. Research on tryptophan and its derivatives provides an inexhaustible subject. At the conference we tried to compose a multifacetted picture of the recent investiga- tions through contributions from the major disciplines...

The picture on the following page is being reproduced here, at the request of the partici pants in the Advanced Research Workshop "Amino Acid Availability and Brain Function in Health and Disease." I displayed this limewood carving, entitled "Neurochemistry," during my closing remarks to this extraordinarily stimulating and productive workshop so ably organized by my collaborator Dr. Gerald Huether. We scientists need two sturdy legs to carry us through all the twists and turns of our academic careers. We should also have, as it were, a reserve leg handy, to help us stay upright when this...
