Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a form of adrenergic response to stress in the mollusc Crassostrea gigas
TL;DR: The results suggest that, unlike that of vertebrates, the adrenergic stress-response system of oysters is not under the control of acetylcholine and that other factors, such as the neuropeptide ACTH, might control this system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mosaic arrangement of SCP(B-), FMRFamide-, and histamine-like immunoreactive sensory hair cells in the statocyst of the gastropod mollusc Pleurobranchaea japonica.
TL;DR: The static nerve may code information about position or movement of the statoliths, with the use of different transmitters in the mosaic arrangement of the hair cells, according to light- and electron-microscopic observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for cholinergic inhibitory and serotonergic excitatory neuromuscular transmission in the heart of the bivalve Mercenaria mercenaria
Kiyoaki Kuwasawa,Robert A. Hill +1 more
TL;DR: Direct electrophysiological evidence for serotonergic EJPs and cholinergic IJPs is provided, plus immunocytochemical evidence for neural processes containing serotonin, in the myocardium, which indicates a reflex pathway involving neurons whose cell bodies are located in the visceral ganglion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical localization and radioenzymatic measurements of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) in hearts of Aplysia and several bivalve mollusks
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that in the species where serotonin-immunoreactive fibers are present, serotonin serves to modulate cardiac myogenic activity in these species that contain relatively low concentrations of serotonin.

Modulatory mechanisms in the isolated internally perfused ventricle of the whelk Busycon canaliculatum.
Henry Huddart,Robert B. Hill +1 more
TL;DR: Ventricles were very sensitive to the excitatory actions of FMRFamide in the 10(-9) to 10(-5) mol l-1 range, and cAMP enhanced spontaneous contractions and 5HT responses, suggesting that the 5HT receptor may operate via a cAMP secondary mechanism.
