The ontogeny of behavior in an organism must reflect developmental events in the nervous system, and it thus provides a noninvasive measure of neuronal development. This approach may be particularly fruitful in the medicinal leech because the neuronal basis of several behaviors has been characterize

We present a description of the last half of embryonic development in the European medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, based entirely on externally visible morphological features, and establish reliably observable stages during that development. Embryogenesis, from the time fertilized eggs are depo
The embryonic development of the catecholaminergic system of the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, was investigated by using chromatographic and histochemical methods. High performance liquid chromatography suggested that dopamine was the only catecholamine present in significant concentrations through
