Abstract

The effects of stimulating neuron LMcl (which secretes serotonin from the axonal endings) on the response of buccal cells LBc2 and LBc3 to stimulation of synaptic (predominantly cholinergic) inputs from iron peripheral neurons were investigated inHelix pomatia. Stimulation of neuron LMc1 was found to modulate such response LBc2 and LBc3 producing an increase in the former and decrease in the latter. Results of pharmacological action show the modulation of excitatory chemical transmission produced by LMc1 in the buccal ganglion to be subsynaptic.
