“…The presence of serotonergic structures in the musculature has principally been reported in invertebrates, including nematodes (Dernovici et al,2007), cycliophora (Wanninger,2005), entoprocta (Fuchs et al,2006), platyhelminths (Stewart et al,2003; Sebelova et al,2004), annelids (Reglödi et al,1997; Csoknya et al,2005), and mollusks (Faccioni‐Heuser et al,2004). In these invertebrates the number of serotonergic peripheral neurons far exceeds those found in the central nervous system (Faccioni‐Heuser,2004).…”
