title: [Neurons of the central nervous system innervating the lips and oral area of the pond snail].
abstract: By means of retrograde transport methods, CoCl2 and horseradish peroxidase, localization and morphological peculiarities of the CNS neurons, that innervate lips and oral area, have been studied in the pond snail (Gastropoda). The neurons, sending their processes into the anterior and middle labial nerves, are found nearly in all ganglia of the parapharyngeal nervous ring on the distal and ventral surface. In the cerebral ganglia they situate as several symmetrical groups. Among the neurons revealed, there are cells with rather local distribution of the terminal branches of the processes in the CNS neuropil and neurons with vast branching areas in the neuropil not only of its own ganglion, but also of the neighbouring ones. The problem concerning the zones of possible intersensory interaction in the cerebral ganglia is discussed and presence in them, together with complex reflectory arches, of bisegmental reflectory arches is considered.
