Abstract excerpt
As a first step toward understanding the evolution of neuronal patterning and function in a group of simple animals, we have examined serotonin-containing neurons in 17 species of free-living rhabditid nematodes and compared them with identified neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans. We found many serotonin-immunoreactive (serotonin-IR) neurons that are likely homologs of those in C. elegans; this paper focuses on...
