title: Influence of putative neurotransmitters on brain electrical activity in Lithobius forficatus L. (Myriapoda Chilopoda).
abstract: Various putative neurotransmitters and related drugs were tested on the electrical activity of the brain of L. forficatus, at various times during the year. Indirect evidence exists for a depressant action from GABA. Ach, 5HT, NA and DA have stimulatory effects. However, DA effects were found to vary with the season, suggesting a role in the control of an annual cycle.
