Abstract
The immunoreactive fibres for both neuropeptides leave their sources and directly enter the optic gland nerve. FMRF-amide- and GnRH-immunoreactive nerve endings are seen on the glandular cells. The evidence of a possible neuropeptidergic control of optic gland activity reinforces the analogies and the functional parallels in the octopus, insect, crustacean, and vertebrate hormonal systems.File in questo prodotto:
