Frescon: neurophysiological action of a molluscicide.
The molluscidice N-trityl morpholine (Frescon) has an unusual effect on the central nervous system of a freshwater snail. Nerve impulses become grouped into spontaneous "bursts", with many cells firing synchronously. This may result from interference with inhibitory processes.
