Influence of putative neurotransmitters on brain electrical activity in Lithobius forficatus L. (Myriapoda Chilopoda)

M Descamps et al. Comp Biochem Physiol C Comp Pharmacol Toxicol. 1983.

Abstract

Various putative neurotransmitters and related drugs were tested on the electrical activity of the brain of L. forficatus, at various times during the year. Indirect evidence exists for a depressant action from GABA. Ach, 5HT, NA and DA have stimulatory effects. However, DA effects were found to vary with the season, suggesting a role in the control of an annual cycle.
