[Light and electron microscopic localization of cholinesterase activity in a marine invertebrate (Nereis pelagica L., Annelida, Polychaeta)].
High specific and nonspecific cholinesterase activities have been demonstrated in the whole nervous system of Nereis. These might reveal the existence of a cholinergic nervous system whose control would be exerted in different sites (central nervous centers, muscular junctions...).
