Abstract excerpt
We describe a group of neurons with egg-laying bioactivity in the cerebral ganglia of an opisthobranch mollusc, the nudibranch Archidoris montereyensis. These cells, the intercerebral white cells (IWCs), share morphological, biochemical, and electrophysiological characteristics with the egg-laying neuroendocrine cells of two other molluscs, Aplysia californica (bag cells) and Lymnaea stagnalis (caudodorsal...
