PREFACE
In September 1967 a Symposium on Neurobiology of Invertebrates was held at
Tihany, in the Biological Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sci
ences, coinciding with the 40 years anniversary of this Institute. Its Department of
Experimental Zoology, representing the most important basis for researches in
Hungary on the nervous system of invertebrates, organized the meeting.
The Symposium covered both morphological and functional aspects of inver
tebrate neurobiology from the viewpoints of elementary processes as well of regu
latory mechanisms. The complex approach of identic or similar problems is a
generally accepted trend in biological research - this tendency is well reflected
in the 34 papers presented by participants of the Symposium coming from different
countries of Europe and the United States. The volume contains all but one of
the lectures held at the meeting; the paper of A. K. Voskresenskaya included in
the Proceedings could not be read because of the tragic death of the author, some
weeks before the Symposium. The volume is separated into 4 parts according
to the 4 days program, however this division is rather tentative because of over
lappings in the different fields. Discussion following the lectures are also pub
lished in short, however it was impossible to give a full picture in this respect.
The Biological Department of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences deserves
special gratitude for the financial support of the Symposium. I wish to express
also my thanks to all contributors and to my colleagues for their help in organizing
the Symposium and for their technical assistance in preparing this volume.
