title: [Effect of the endogenous peptide factor and vasopressin on the neurons of mollusks of different ages].
abstract: Electric reactions of the identified neurons in adult (10-12 months) and old (22-24 months) molluscs Lymnaea stagnalis to endogenous peptide isolated from the water soluble fraction of the Helix Pomatia brain homogenate as well as to vasopressin are studied. The endogenous peptide causes a significant activation of the burst both in adult and old neurons of the molluscs. No significant age-related differences in the pronouncement of the above shifts of the molluscan neurons are found. There is an increased sensitivity to the identified peptide, vasopressin, in the old individuals. A non-uniform change in the sensitivity of mollusk neurons to various neuropeptides may affect the synaptic conduction in old age.
