Abstract
The aim is to assess the role of octopamine immunoreactive neurons newly found in the buccal ganglia of Lymnaea stagnalis. Their role in feeding will be assessed by paired recordings from the OC cells and previously known interneurons and motoneurons in isolated and semi-intact preparations. The mechanism of octopamine release (neurotransmission, modulation) will be explored and the octopamine receptors characterised pharmacologically.
