[Serotonergic system of neurons in the CNS of terrestrial snail: morphology, ontogenesis, control of behavior].
The morphology of the serotonergic neurons modulating withdrawal behavior in the CNS of terrestrial snail was studied. It was shown that only one Pd4 neuron projects to the pleural and parietal ganglia. Its intracellular stimulation caused the same effects as the stimulation of the whole group of modulatory neurons. In juvenile snails, the number of serotonergic neurons and their relative sizes are smaller than in adult animals, which can be the reason for the observed age-related differences in the withdrawal behavior.
