The serotonin transporter, SERT, is reported as a key molecule that regulates serotonergic neurotransmission. In the present study, we analyzed the localization of <i>Lymnaea</i> SERT (LymSERT) mRNA-containing neurons by <i>in situ</i> hybridization using frozen sections of the central nervous system (CNS) of <i>Lymnaea</i> . To precisely demonstrate the distribution of LymSERT mRNA-containing neurons, colocalization with serotonin immunoreactivity was also examined. The results showed that LymSERT mRNA was constitutively expressed and localized in the serotonin-containing neurons in the CNS.
