## Abstract The role of the biogenic amine octopamine in modulating cholinergic synaptic transmission between the locust forewing stretch receptor neuron (fSR) and the first basalar motoneuron (BA1) was investigated. The amines 5βhydroxytryptamine (5βHT, serotonin) and dopamine were also studied. B

The first part of this study describes the distribution of all different types of octopaminergic, efferent dorsal unpaired median (DUM) neurons in the first two thoracic ganglia by immunocytochemistry, retrograde labeling, and intracellular staining. The prothoracic ganglion contains five different
## Abstract The effects of corticotropin (ACTH) and the polypeptide fragment ACTH 4β10 on neuromuscular transmission were studied in rat phrenic nerveβdiaphragm preparations in vitro. ACTH decreased the quantum content of endβplate potentials (epps) and increased the transmission failure rate. The
