Vital staining with 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein in the feeding system of Lymnaea and the selective photoinactivation of the filled neurones.
Lymnaea feeding interneurones were stained with 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein by cutting the nerves containing their axons. They were located under low-intensity blue light and were healthy with normal pharmacology. The interneurones were selectively killed by high-intensity blue light.
