Insect Neurochemistry and Neurophysiology . 1989 .

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.
