Preface
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.
ICINN-86, as well as the ICINN-83 that preceded it by three years,
and future ICINNs that we hope will follow, could not be organized with
out the help and financial support of sponsoring organizations. The Agri
cultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture, and the Nation
al Science Foundation were the principal US Government contributors.
The industrial sponsors were the American Cyanamid Company, E. I.
DuPont de Nemours & Co., Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Company, Imper
ial Chemical Industries, Mobay Chemical Corporation, Monsanto Com
pany, Nippon Soda Company, Rohm and Haas Company, Stauffer
Chemical Company, Sumitomo Chemical Company, and Zoecon Corpor
ation. To these far-sighted sponsors we give our sincere thanks and
appreciation.
