Abstract
The above broad title was selected for me by the organizers of this symposium, and while I should love to expound on the comparative aspects, physiological and biochemical, such an undertaking would of itself fill the entire volume. Therefore, most of my remarks will be restricted to my current interests and experience, which means that one substance will have centre stage, namely octopamine, and insects will be the primary experimental subject. Nevertheless, my overall perspective will be truly comparative.
