## Abstract Glutamate is the major excitatory transmitter in the CNS and plays distinct roles in a number of developmental events. Its extracellular concentration, which mediates these activities, is regulated by glutamate transporters in glial cells and neurons. In the present study, we have used
## Abstract Previous studies on glutamate (GLU) and its receptors in the pond snail __Lymnaea stagnalis__ have suggested that GLU functions as a neurotransmitter in various behaviors, particularly for generation of feeding rhythm. The uptake mechanism of GLU is not yet known in __Lymnaea__. In the
