Establishment of a neuronal map of ganglia of Eisenia fetida (Annelida, Oligochaeta) containing substances immunobiologically related to vertebrate peptides.

Several antisera specific to neuropeptides of vertebrates were applied to sections of the earthworm Eisenia fetida Sav. Some of them were able to reveal specific neurones of the supraoesophageal ganglion: h-GHRF, CRF, Leu- and Met-enkephaline, dynorphine, substance P, CCK-8, and CCK-8S. A map of dif...

Summary:Several antisera specific to neuropeptides of vertebrates were applied to sections of the earthworm Eisenia fetida Sav. Some of them were able to reveal specific neurones of the supraoesophageal ganglion: h-GHRF, CRF, Leu- and Met-enkephaline, dynorphine, substance P, CCK-8, and CCK-8S. A map of different areas or nuclei was established in the brain, taking position of reactive cells into account. Four symmetrically paired nuclei and one mediodorsal nucleus were identified and plotted.
