ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The editors are much obliged to : Dr. Brian J. Corrette, who contributed a1l knowledge and organized a1l equipment required for computer aided text processing and printout used in this volume andto Torsten Rüting, Petra Skiebe and Bemd Lühr, all students of neurobiology at the University of Hamburg, who set aside their own projects for quite some time to prepare this book ABOUT THIS BOOK In a situation where neuros eienc e diversifies into numerous directions it is achallenge to show recent developments in the field whithin one book. This volume uses as a bracket the object of study, the crustacean CNS. This choice is justified by the many physiological details of nerve function and the wealth of information ab out neuronal circuitry underlying behavior which have been collected from work in crustaceans. The number of investigators using crustacean preparations is on the one hand small enough to assemble their contributions in one book; on the other hand the diversification of research interests within the number of contributors remains large enough to provide a fairly good coverage of the many directions of research in neuroscience. Besides presenting a full set of outstanding achievements as a means to serve in general orientation, our book aims also at an inventory of smaller, individual, research activities to enable the reader to search for promising hook-up points which might turn out prolific sources of relevant information in the future.
