## Abstract Immunocytochemistry techniques were employed to investigate the distribution of neuropeptide Y‐like‐immunoreactive (NPY‐ir) cells and fibers in the central and peripheral nervous systems of adult amphioxus. NPY‐ir neurons of the commissural type were abundant in the brain and present bu

Interferon-gamma (IFN-y) has many important immunoregulatory functions. It has previously been presumed to be produced by activated lymphoid cells alone. The present study concerning the identification of IFN-y in neurons was initiated against the background that nerve function influences immunologi
On the basis of labeling with an anti-␥-aminobutyric acid (GABA) antibody, we report for the first time the presence and distribution of GABA-immunoreactive cells in the central and peripheral nervous system of amphioxus. In the nerve cord, there is a large dorsorostral group of cerebrospinal-fluid-
While much is known about the neural and endocrine mechanisms that control egg laying in the gastropod mollusk Aplysia, relatively little is known about the regulation of male reproductive activity in this simultaneous hermaphrodite. In the present study, we have cloned and sequenced a cDNA that enc
