Borkovec and Masler's timely new volume-Insect Neurochemistry and Neurophysiology • 1989-provides a wide-ranging survey of forefront research in every key area of insect neuroscience by contributors who are internationally renowned authorities in their fields.
Divided into three main sections- Neuroanatomy, Neurochemistry, and Neurophysiology, this vanguard collection of original research papers and reviews presented here cover a broad spectrum of topics, including: • neuropeptides • neurodevelopment • neuroendocrinology • blood-brain barrier • eclosion hormone gene • neuroparsins • hypertrehalosemic hormone • oostatic hormone • sex pheromone biosynthesis • corpora allata activity • ecdysiotropins • protein kinase C • ecdysteroid production • precocene II • hypolipemic hormone • neuroanatomy • serotonergic modulation • neurosecretory cells • octopaminergic modulation• tyramine-b-hydroxylase • metabolism of inositol phosphates • genetically engineered baculovirus pesticides • juvenile hormone production • endocrinology of embyrogenesis • molt inhibition by azadirachtin • prothoracicotropic hormone • metabolic changes in nerve tissue • regulation of vitellogenesis • uptake and binding of ponasterone A • gene expression during pupal-adult neurogenesis • chemical regulators of female reproductive muscle function • proctolin and female reproductive tissue immunochemistry.
Insect Neurochemistry and Neurophysiology • 1989 is an indispensable resource and reference for all workers in the neurosciences, entomology, pesticide research, and related areas.
