Abstract

By using immunocytochemical method, distribution of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) was studied in the brain of five crustacean species of the subclass Malacostraca belonging to orders Stomatopoda and Decapoda that have different biological-ecological characteristics. Both similar regularities 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 taxonomic positions, but also to peculiarities of their ecology.
