title: [Peculiarities of distribution of cystathionine beta-synthase in the crustacean brain].
abstract: By using immunocytochemical method, distribution of cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) was studied in the brain of 5 Crustacean species of the subclass of Malacostraca belonging to orders Stomatopoda and Decapoda that have different biologo-ecological characteristics. Both similar characteristics and differences in distribution of CBS-positive neurons were revealed in homologous brain parts. It is established that differences in the quantitative content of CBS-immunoreactive neurons in the brain of the studied Crustaceans can be due not only to their systematic position, but also to peculiarities of their ecology.
