Comparative pharmacology of feeding in molluscs
2000
Elliott, C.J.H. | Vehovszky, A.
This paper reviews the role of transmitters in identified neurons of gastropod molluscs in generating and modulating fictive feeding. In Lymnea and Helisoma the 3 phase rhythm is generated by sets of interneurons which use acetylcholine for the N1 (protraction) phase, glutamate for the N2 (rasp) phase interneurons. The N3 interneurons are likely to use several different transmitters, of which one is octopamine.
