Abstract
Similar responses to L-glutamate (Glu) were recorded in homologous neu rons of two pulmonate molluscs, Limnaea stagnalis and Helix pomatia. T he K+ and Cl- channels have been found responsible for hyperpolarizing effects of Glu on neurons related to feeding and locomotion. Fast and slow Na+, Ca2+-channels mediate depolarizing Glu effects on neurosecr etory cells of the right parietal ganglion (D-group in H. pomatia, and LYC cells in L. stagnalis). Evidence is presented that these neurosec retory cells are provided with NMDA-receptors.
