Insect Taste offers an accessible overview to some of the many advances in insect taste research. The book covers how insects solve the basic problem of taste gustatory processing, from detection and transduction, through coding to the generation of behavior and the evolutionary biology underpinning gustaory learning.
This SEB book will have chapters covering different approaches to taste research including genes and receptors, taste coding in the periphery and its modulation, taste coding in the central nervous system and behaviour, and nutrition and nutritional regulation.
