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.

There have been considerable advances in neurobiology in recent years that are providing new directions for the development of novel classes of antidepressants. For example, the finding that corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is hypersecreted in depressed patients and mediates certain symptoms of
By labeling the germinal plates of staged leech embryos with monoclonal antibodies to the immunoglobulin superfamily member Tractin, we have documented the distribution and initial development of peripheral neurons in a hirudinid leech. We find, in addition to sensillar and extrasensillar sensory ne
