Abstract
Lateral ciliary activity of the bivalve mollusk M. edulis was studied in the field and in the laboratory. A diurnal rhythm corresponding to the environmental temperature changes was found. This behavior was modified by treating animals with serotonergic and dopaminergic agents, disrupting the serotonin and dopamine innervation of the cilia. Temperature-dependent rhythmicity seems to be due peripherally and centrally to monoaminergic pathways.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
