Abstract
Functional characteristics of cerebral serotoninergic neuron Cl, axons of which terminate at the buccal ganglia [7], were investigated in the pteropod molluskClione. Stimulating neuron Cl induced activation of the feeding rhythm generator located in the buccal ganglia — an effect arising after a long latency and persisting for some tens of seconds once stimulation had ended. Neuron Cl receives feedback from buccal ganglion cells and this brings about periodic modulation in ganglia activity during the generation of feeding rhythm. Activity of neuron Cl is correlated with operation of the locomotor rhythm generator located in the pedal ganglia. The firing rate of Cl neurons increased upon activation of the locomotor generator (whether spontaneous or induced by stimulating certain command neurons). The correlation found between workings of the locomotor generator and activity of Cl neurons is thought to be one of the manifestations of feeding synergy involving simultaneous activation of the locomotor and buccal apparatus.
