| Summary: | Presents an overview of Soviet research into invertebrate neurobiology. The main emphasis is on the general principles of nervous activity, but comparative aspects are also covered, such as oligopeptides, specific neurones in free-living and parasitic worms, neuronal plasticity, and the cellular analysis of behavior. The balance of theoretical and experimental studies points out the increasing importance of gastropods in modeling nervous systems. The bibliographies include many references to primary Russian literature. Translated from Russian. Distributed by St. Martin's. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
