Abstract

The insect auditory system is the product of two historical processes. The first is the evolutionary history of the species, evident in the pattern of gene expression that directs neurogenesis, growth, and connectivity. The second is the developmental history of the individual animal in which differential gene expression, environmental interactions, and processes such as activity-dependent competition between neurons for synaptic sites all combine to produce interindividual variation in neuronal structure and function. Over the past decade there have been impressive advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of some of these developmental processes (for reviews, Campos-Ortega and Knust 1990; Grenningloh et al. 1990; Goodman and Doe 1994). Furthermore, our ability to determine a neuron’s lineage from an identified precursor cell in the early embryo means that the basic organization of the insect auditory system can now be understood ontogenetically and is one of the reasons why this system is being studied by developmental neurobiologists.
