Abstract:The serotonergic components in the nervous system of planarian Girardia tigrina was shown by immunocytochemical method. The whole-mounts are used to extract the maximum information and conduct a quantitative morphometric analysis of serotonin-immunopositive elements in different body regions. The planarian nervous system is represented by cephalic ganglion in the anterior body part and a pair of well-defined ventral nerve cords running along the body. The density of serotonin components is greatest in the head… Show more
