In the opening ses sion we heard about the distribution of the trace amines-now clear ly a misnomer-in insects and the pharmacological, receptor, and syn aptic characteristics of octopamine and tryptamine as well as the pos sibility of monoamines in general being targets for insecticide discov ery. In mammalian brain the distribution and characterization of the tryptamine receptor has proceeded to the point where two types have been described as well as novel agonists and antagonists, and, for the first time, a binding site for p-tyramine has been described. The com bination of lesions and pharmacological and metabolic manipulations now permits the mapping of trace aminergic pathways, and the rap idly accumulating evidence from releasing drugs, in situ microdialy sis, iontophoresis, and second messenger systems lends credence to the claim that the trace amines possess neuromodulatory functions.…
