| Abstract: | Summary Compounds chemically related to the vertebrate neurohypophysial peptides, vasopressin and neurophysin, have been detected in recent years in the brain and in ganglia of invertebrates. Most data acquired so far have been obtained in insects and in molluscs. Evidence suggesting that these compounds might exert neurohormonal and neurotransmitter functions in these species is reviewed.Work by the authors is supported in part by Swiss NSF grant 3.560.083. |
