Progress in Neuropharmacology and Neurotoxicology of Pesticides and Drugs

The proceedings of Neurotox '98: Progress in Neuropharmacology and Neurotoxicology of Pesticides and Drugs, organised by the SCI and held at St. Catherine's College, Oxford, UK on 28-31 July 1998

Knowledge of the invertebrate nervous system and target sites for both pesticides and drugs within it has advanced greatly during the last decade. It is hoped that increased communication between invertebrate neurobiology scientists and those working on its practical applications in pest control, for example, will lead to a more rational understanding of resistance. This unique book presents the latest research in this area, as well as discussing the nervous system as a potential target for drugs.

Encompassing ion channels and receptors, molecular neuroscience, natural products and neurotoxicity, Progress in Neuropharmacology and Neurotoxicology of Pesticides and Drugs brings together pesticide scientists from industry with academic neuroscientists. Leading international experts in the field contribute their findings on serotonin, acetylcholine and GABA receptors, and sodium and calcium channels as well as innovative items on animal toxins and the neurotoxicity of pesticides.

This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover the most recent developments in this field, whether as biochemist, neuroscientist, toxicologist or pesticide researcher.
