This meeting focused on central brain and ventral ganglion functions of insects in bringing about adaptive behavior. It included methods and tools needed from neurogenetics to the simulation of circuits to assess behavior quantitatively and to unravel the underlying neuronal circuits. The meeting omitted many aspects of peripheral visual and olfactory processing, countless important molecules, and olfactory learning and memory—all topics that can fill specialized meetings by themselves.
