The development of insects is controlled by cerebral neurohormones that         when released at precise times evoke a cascade of endocrine events that         culminate in molting and metamorphosis.  The principal neurohormone in          this process is the peptide prothoracicotropic hormone (PPTH), which            based upon size exists as two families of peptides.  This research is           involved with understanding the chemistry and physiology of one of              these families, the small PTTHs.                                                                                                                                Knowledge gained from this research on a simple cerebral neuroendocrine         system will contribute to our understanding of the development and              functioning of the fundamental neuronal type, neurosecretory cell, that         through its production of neuropeptides regulates most of the life              processes of an organism.  Additionally, insight into the mechanisms by         which neurohormones control insect development and reproduction could           lead to the development of environmentally innocuous and specific               strategies for insect control.
