Abstract
The presence and localization of NADPH-diaphorase in the cerebral gang lion of the crayfish Cambarellus montezumae was shown. The reactivity of this enzyme was found in the deuterocerebrum, mainly in the commiss ure, in fibers of olfactory and accessory lobes, and in the laterodors al group of cells. The presence of this enzyme in these cerebral regio ns suggests that nitric oxide is involved in primary sensory afferents in the crayfish.
