The nature and diversity of presentations at the second
International Conference on Insect Neurochemistry and
Neurophysiology (ICINN--86) held at the University of Maryland on
August 4-6. 1986, attest to the vital ity and broad scope of
research in insect neuroscience. The present vol ume is a written
account of the invited lectures, contributed papers, and posters
presented at the conference, and as such, serves as a fair indica
tor of the trends in current research in this field here and
abroad. The principal portion of this book consists of seven review
papers that were presented by invited speakers. Although the topics
vary wide ly, they reflect on and emphasize the main theme of the
conference, i. e., the nature and function of molecular messengers
that communicate be meen the central nervous system and organs or
tissues involved in the growth, development, reproduction, and
behavior of insects. This empha sis is continued in the following
three sections on neurochemistry, neuro physiology, and
neuroanatomy, although no conscious effort was made by the
organizers to highlight these particular fields of neuroscience. It
is evident that the recent advances in both physical and chemical
analyti cal techniques have made possible the acquisition of
structurally defined probes, the long sought-after tools for
unraveling the secrets of endogen ous communication. Each section
of short papers derived from the oral and poster presentations at
the conference is prefaced by an overview that highlights and
summarizes the section's content."
