The nervous system is particularly fascinating for many biologists because it controls animal characteristics such as movement, behavior, and coordinated thinking. Invertebrate neurobiology has traditionally been studied in specific model organisms, whilst knowledge of the broad diversity of nervous system architecture and its evolution among metazoan animals has received less attention. The attractions of invertebrate nervous systems have long been appreciated by neurophysiologists. Indeed some of the milestones in our understanding of nervous systems have their foundations in experiments done on invertebrate preparations, typified by the role of the squid axon in dissect ing the events that constitute the action potential.

Nervous System. An insect’s nervous system is a network of specialized cells (called neurons) that serve as an “information highway” within the body. These cells generate electrical impulses (action potientials) that travel as waves of depolarization along the cell’s membrane. * The very best comprehended endocrine systems are those of insects, followed by shellfishes, echinoderms and mollusks, although the latter are possibly identified by the most diverse hormone systems of the invertebrate phyla.

This book will certainly encourage a new generation of neuroscientists to look to the invertebrates in the search for the principles that underlie the workings of all complicated nervous systems. It fills an important niche alongside the larger, well-established text books of neuroscience, and is strongly recommended.'' - Cited by: Presented in full colour throughout, Structure and Evolution of Invertebrate Nervous Systems synthesizes and illustrates the numerous new findings that have been made possible with light and electron microscopy.

ADVERTISEMENTS: The nervous system in Molluscs (Figs. ) presents numerous diversities. It exhibits gradual coming up of complexities from simple to complex which can be marshalled into one perspective—the nervous co-ordination.
Prior to the description of the nervous system in different forms of Molluscs a basic plan of the Molluscan nervous system is to be [ ]. The theory of neurosecretion is originally based on histological evidence. Combined histological and physiological evidence have provided convincing proof of neurosecretion in the central nervous systems (CNS) of annelids, crustaceans, and insects.
The chapter mainly discusses the neurosecretory systems of. Invertebrate Nervous Systems: Their Significance for Mammalian Neurophysiology.
