title: Neurotransmitter uptake by the central nervous system of fresh-water mussel (Anodonta cygnea L): I. In vitro uptake of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline.
abstract: The accumulation of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline in the cerebral, pedal and visceral ganglia is mediated by a high-affinity (uptake 1) and a low-affinity (uptake 2) system. This uptake mechanism is dependent on time and temperature. The monoamine uptake systems in the cerebral, pedal and visceral ganglia are not identical. At low external serotonin concentration, the cerebral ganglia display twice the rate of uptake 1 as compared to the visceral and pedal ganglia.
