Newly identified nerve cells of the snail, Helix pomatia, associated with the generation of pacemaker activity.
Data on new, previously unidentified nerve cells of the snail Helix pomatia are presented in this paper. The identified neurons described may serve as a convenient model for the investigation of the cellular mechanisms of pacemaker activity, the role of neuropeptides in the generation and regulation of pacemaker activity, peptidergic transmission, and the functional role of the inward calcium current.
