    Abstract:
    The role of cerebral ganglia in switching from free swimming over to hunting behaviour in Clione limacina (Phipps) was studied. The cell bodies of central neurones giving processes to the sensory and motor nerves were mapped by retrograde axonal transport of Co2+ ions, and behavioural reactions under the extracellular electric stimulation of different ganglia areas were investigated. Comparison of morphological and behavioural data suggests main role of cerebral ganglia neurones in switching of behaviour from free swimming over to any of the three possible states: hunting (including food uptake), active or passive defensive behaviour.
