Serotonin and octopamine produce opposite postures in lobsters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serotonin and octopamine, injected into the circulation of freely moving lobsters and crayfish, produce opposite behavioral effects. Octopamine injection produces sustained extension of the limbs and abdomen; serotonin injection produces sustained flexion. Neurophysiological analyses show that these postures can be accounted for by opposing, coordinated effects of these amines on patterns of motoneuron activity recorded from the ventral nerve cord.

Amines and a peptide as neurohormones in lobsters: actions on neuromuscular preparations and preliminary behavioural studies.
In this communication we report that four substances, thought to function as neurohormones in Crustacea, all produce long-term changes in the physiological properties of lobster opener muscle preparations. The substances are the amines, octopamine, serotonin and dopamine, and the peptide, proctolin. The actions of these substances are superimposed on the normal synaptic apparatus that utilizes ...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms for modulation of posture by octopamine and serotonin in the lobster.
Injection of the monoamines octopamine and serotonin into the hemolymph of lobsters causes them to assume opposing static postures: octopamine causes a tonic extension of all extremities, while serotonin induces a tonic flexion. These amines have been shown previously to act as circulating neurohormones and to cause contraction of isolated exoskeletal muscles. The opposing postures elicited by ...
متن کاملPhysiological identification, morphological analysis, and development of identified serotonin-proctolin containing neurons in the lobster ventral nerve cord.
Amines and peptides exert a wide range of physiological actions on both central neurons and peripheral tissues. Among these actions, serotonin and octopamine are known to trigger contrasting postures when injected into freely moving lobsters. Immunocytochemical studies of lobster ganglia have identified presumptive serotonergic neurons, their central and peripheral projections, and their termin...

Introduction Biogenic amines, such as serotonin (5HT) and octopamine (OCT), the invertebrate counterpart of norepinephrine in vertebrates, function as neuromodulators capable of influencing vital behaviors in a wide variety of animal species (Hen, 1992; Cases, 1995; Weiger, 1997; Edwards and Kravitz, 1997; Shiah and Yatham, 1998; Hörner, 1999a; Monastirioti, 1999; Kravitz, 2000). Amine actions ...
متن کاملSerotonin regulates repolarization of the C. elegans pharyngeal muscle.
Caenorhabditis elegans feeds by rhythmically contracting its pharynx to ingest bacteria. The rate of pharyngeal contraction is increased by serotonin and suppressed by octopamine. Using an electrophysiological assay, we show that serotonin and octopamine regulate two additional aspects of pharyngeal behavior. Serotonin decreases the duration of the pharyngeal action potential and enhances activ...
