(Symon Iv) PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH SYMPOSIUM ON MOLLUSCAN NEUROBIOLOGY (SYMON IV) Amsterdam (The Netherlands), June 1-4, 1994 Guest editors: KAREL S. KITS HARRY H. BOER AUGUST B. SMIT PREFACE The fourth Symposium on Molluscan Neurobiology (SYMON IV) was held from June 1-4, 1994, in Amsterdam at the Vrije Universiteit. Traditionally this symposium is organized by the Department of Experimental Zoology, which has a longstanding record of neuro- biological and neuroendocrinological research on molluscs, in particu- lar Lymnaea stagnalis. The symposium made clear that Lymnaea and its marine cousin Aplysia continue to be outstanding molluscan model systems for neurobiological research. Nevertheless, the position of molluscan models has changed over the years, especially since the development of novel techniques at the (sub)cellular level, both in molecular biology and electrophysiology, has greatly expanded the potential for research in vertebrate models that were hitherto ham- pered by the small size and inaccessibility of their neurones. In spite of this, molluscan models continue to be important because neuronal networks in molluscs (and many other invertebrates) are made up of limited numbers of neurones and because many of these neurones are uniquely identifiable.
