Mapping of neurons in the gravity receptor system of the octopus statocyst by iontophoretic cobalt staining

B U Budelmann et al. Cell Tissue Res. .

Abstract

The presence of uni-, bi- and multipolar neurons beneath the hair cell epithelium of the Octopus gravity receptor system has been demonstrated by iontophoretic cobalt staining. Counts give an average number of 1,940 neurons per macula. Whether the hair cells are primary of secondary sensory cells is discussed.
