Abstract
The occurrence of serotonin (5-HT) in the CNS of vertebrates was first shown by Twarog and Page in 1953. Since then there has been abundant evidence that serotonin is a neuroactive substance (neurotransmitter and neu-romodulator) in vertebrates and invertebrates (see Dismukes 1979; Evans 1980). Its presence in the insect CNS was first shown by Gersch et al. (1961) and its intraneuronal sites were demonstrated with aldehyde fluorescence (the Falck-Hillarp method) by Klemm and Axelsson (1973) and Klemm (1974, 1976, 1980).
