During the past decade we have witnessed several major dis- coveries in the area of protein synthesis and post-translational modification of protein molecules.

It was direced towards an understanding of the molecular neuropathology of muscle and nerve under a wide variety of conditions that may be induced by external agents or genetic lesions. This section was expanded to explore the control of muscle function in nerves, including a discussion on cross reinnervation.

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.

Phospholipids, one of the major components of membranes, not only provide the membrane with its structural integrity and physical proper- ties, but also play an important role in regulating membrane function.

Provides a survey of forefront research in various key areas of insect neuroscience. This title is suitable for all workers in the neurosciences, entomology, pesticide research, and related areas.

Environmental considerations are playing an increasingly important role in determining management strategies for soil and land. Many important environmental issues involve aspects of the biology of soil, and these issues cannot be considered satisfactorily in isolation from a general understanding of soil biology as a whole.

Taxonomy is an ever-changing, controversial and exCitmg field of biology. These changes are not only of interest to other taxonomists, but have far reaching implications for much of the rest of biology, and they have the potential to reshape a great deal of current biological thought, because taxonomy underpins much of biological methodology.

A probable neurobiological role for the trace amines began to emerge as soon as techniques sufficiently sophisticated to detect them were developed.
