“…As in other invertebrates (see Gerschenfeld, 1973) there are large amounts of 5HT (7-10,uglg) in the nerve cord (Welsh & Moorhead, 1960; Myhrberg & Rosengren, 1967; Rude, 1969). There are 5HT-containing cell bodies in the ventral nerve cord (Rude, 1969;Myhrberg, 1967;Kerkut et al, 1967; Gardner & Cashin, 1975) which could be interneurones (Rude, 1969; Myhrberg, 1972) or motoneurones (Rude, 1969; Myhrberg, 1967; Gardner, 1975) or both. Recent autoradiographic observations in Nereidae have shown uptake of 3H-5HT into neuromuscular junctions (Dhainaut-Courtois & Dhainaut, 1974).…”
