title: Influence of oxytocin on identified neurons of the brain of the snail Helix pomatia L.
abstract: The responses of identified neurons induced by the effect of perfusion with a solution of oxytocin were investigated in this study. Depolarizing, hyperpolarizing, and modulating types of responses were found. It is hypothesized that these responses are associated in the majority of instances with the system of cyclic nucleotides.
