Editors:
- Illustrates the finding that the insect central nervous system is extremely rich in acetylcholine receptors that have a predominantly nicotinic pharmacology
- Demonstrates that several amino acids that account for ligand binding domain are conserved in the insect nicotinic receptor subunit
- Explores the involvement of insect nicotinic receptors in learning and memory processes using the honeybee as insect model
Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (AEMB, volume 683)
