  • Title: Axonal pathways and synaptic inputs of three identified neurons in the buccal ganglion of Helix pomatia.
    Author: Altrup U, Speckmann EJ, Caspers H.
    Journal: Malacologia; 1979; 18(1-2):473-6. PubMed ID: 491751.
    Abstract:
    The axonal pathways and the synaptic inputs of the identified neurons B1 through B3 in the buccal ganglia of Helix pomatia were studied. The axons of neurons B1, B2 and B3 were found to run invariably within the ipsilateral posterior oesophageal nerve, ipsi- and contralateral salivary gland nerves, and ipsilateral cerebrobuccal connective, respectively. Synaptic responses could be elicited by stimulation of most of the nerves of the buccal ganglia. These consisted of an early depolarization which was most frequently followed by a longlasting de- or hyperpolarization. The shape of the synaptic response proved to be related to the different neurons.
