内容説明
The exploration of the phenomenon of neurosecretion has developed from a morphological interest in neurons that produce hormones, through the discovery of the chemical nature of the secretion products and the diversity of actions of these messengers, towards the multidisciplinary study of a special class of neuronal messengers, the neuropeptides. This volume reflects the increase in knowledge of the peptidergic neuron and helps improve the contacts between those interested in this subject. Three aspects receive special attention: the overwhelming uniformity in the basic mechanisms of neuropeptide synthesis and secretion across animal species of different phyla, organismic biology of peptidergic systems and elucidation of the molecular structure and genomic coding of neuropeptides in insects. This excellent member of the well known Progress in Brain Research series stimulates closer cooperation between investigators studying representatives of different animal groups and paints a clear picture of developments in this exciting corner of scientific research.
