[The structural organization of the sensory system of the statocysts in nudibranch mollusks (Coryphella rufibranchialis)].
Using silver nitrate impregnation after Golgi and Colognier, staining with methylen blue and HRP labelling organization of peripheral and central regions of statocyst sensory system in nudibranch mollusc Coryphella rufibranchialis was investigated. Ramification of processes of the majority of statocyst receptor cells in its wall, adjacent optic and both cerebropleural ganglia was demonstrated. Special attention was drawn to structural bases of possible intersensory interactions between statocyst. Common zone of distribution of afferent fibres from statocysts, eyes, rhinophores and neuron processes of optic ganglia were distinguished and neurons innervating these zones and pedal ganglia were discovered.
