## Abstract The cephalochordate amphioxus (__Branchiostoma__ sp.) is an important animal model for studying the evolution of chordate developmental mechanisms. Obtaining amphioxus embryos is a key step for these studies. It has been shown that an increase of 3–4°C in water temperature triggers spaw
## Abstract Members of the subphylum Cephalochordata, which include the genus Branchiostoma (i.e. amphioxus), represent the closest living invertebrate relatives of the vertebrates. To date, developmental studies have been carried out on three amphioxus species (the European __Branchiostoma lanceol
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-
## 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
