One of the most fundamental aspects of the auditory system is its frequency selectivity - the ability to resolve a complex sound into frequency compOhents. This ability plays a role in many aspects of auditory perception, including: the masking of one sound by another; the perception of pitch for pure tones and complex tones; the perception of timbre; the perception of the relative phase of components in complex sounds; and the perception of loudness. This book summarizes the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Auditory Frequency Selectivity which was held in Wolfson College, Cambridge from June 23rd to 27th, 1986.

It was therefore timely and appropriate to assemble the Physarum community again in Wisconsin after a hiatus of 20 years, at a conference in the Friedrick Conference Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, from July 8 to 13, 1985.

One landmark in the long history of biological studies on the "slime mold" Physarum polycephalum was the introduction of chemiÂ cally defined growth conditions for the plasmodial phase of this organism in the laboratory of Harold P. A number of investigators began working with Physarum in that era, then dispersed over the world..

In the latter case, special attention was directed to the lysosomal B-glucosidase in relation to Gaucher disease and to sphinÂ gomyelinase in relation to Niemann-Pick disease, and "two round" table discussions were devoted to the two respective items.

Other topics presented in special sessions were drug induced lipidoses and peroxisomal disorders. Ample time was provided to personal discussions ; lodging of the participants in the students' residence located near the meeting place, permitted further contacts between them.

The value of the ASI was further enhanced by many first class poster contributions from the participants.

The course was the first in the NATO "Double Jump Programme" specifically aimed to promote industrial and academic participation and cooperation. The ASI was held in 1985 on the beautiful peninsula of Troia, once the site of a flourishing Roman salt industry.

The science of neurotoxicology inevitably is a multidisciplinary endeavor, with contributions from biochemistry, physiology, morphology and behavior, to name a few.

Others disrupt sites required for the maintenance of cellular integrity, and these variably result in degenerative responses of neurons and myelinating cells. Further sites of vulnerability include the delicate neural vasculature and neurohumeral mechanisms responsible for physiological homeostasis.
