Summary |
New Frontiers in Insect Neuroscience synthesizes the latest information on insect sensory systems by highlighting the tremendous breadth of methods used to study insect sensory systems: anatomical pathway tracing, electrophysiological recording (both single-cell and ensemble methods), genetic and pharmacological manipulations, computational modeling, and behavioral observations. The book sets the stage for an interdisciplinary dialogue between investigators studying sensory neuroscience from widely different perspectives |
