Comparative invertebrate neurochemistry Author:George G. Lunt, Richard W. Olsen Invertebrate neurochemistry is a subject of more than purely academic interest. It is also of immense interest to workers in applied areas such as the pesticide industry, for it is possible to produce pesticides which interfere with nervous transmitter systems of major insect pests. A knowledge of insect neurochemistry is the scientific basis of... more » such methods of pest control. This book presents a review of invertebrate neurochemistry at a level suitable for the advanced student or researcher in zoology, neuroscience or pharmacology. Most of the book is concerned with insects, but other invertebrate systems are also covered and comparisons are made with mammalian neurochemistry. The book is organized around the major neurotransmitter classes and in each case both 'pure' and applied aspects are covered. This book should be of interest to advanced students or researchers in zoology, neuroscience and pharmacology.« less
