Histochemical distribution of NADPH-diaphorase in the cerebral ganglion of the crayfish Cambarellus montezumae.
The presence and localization of NADPH-diaphorase in the cerebral ganglion of the crayfish Cambarellus montezumae was shown. The reactivity of this enzyme was found in the deuterocerebrum, mainly in the commissure, in fibers of olfactory and accessory lobes, and in the laterodorsal group of cells. The presence of this enzyme in these cerebral regions suggests that nitric oxide is involved in primary sensory afferents in the crayfish.
