Regeneration of pedal ganglion neurons in the sea butterfly Clione limacina

Neurophysiology Aims and scope

Abstract

In the pedal ganglia ofClione limacina the growth of neurites is traced in motoneurons after transection of the wing nerve and in interneurons after transection of the pedal commissure. Neurons were stained intracellularly with Lucifer yellow. In the motoneurons the neurites growing from the transected end of the axon and from the neuron soma spread to all nerve trunks departing from the ipsi- and contralateral ganglia. For nerve transection in the intact mollusk, wing movements were restored 10 days after the operation. In the interneurons the growing neurites branched within the pedal ganglion or spread to the cerebral ganglia, but they never reached the periphery.
