Burrows is an eminent and productive figure in neurobiology, and this book is an immensely authoritative treatment of locust neurobiology. His message is clear and important ... a key reference work, which should be read by all neurobiologists and behaviourists. * Stephen J. Simpson, University of Oxford, Nature, Febr '97 * This is a remarkable book ... this book is concerned mainly with the cellular basis of behavior in the locust ... In this it is excellent ... we are treated to an in-depth presentation of the cellular components of the insect nervous system, the development of these cellular components, and the neurochemistry of the transmitter systems involved in these cells. The overall impression of these themes, which together make up close to half of the book, is one of uncompromising accuracy ... in no other reference work that I know of are the structure and function of nonspiking interneurons so clearly and comprehensively presented. * TINS, Vol. 20, No. 2, 1997 *
