Abstract: | Polyclonal antibodies against hydra neuropeptides allow us to visualize the hydra nerve net. Chemical anatomy of the hydra
nerve net was archived by means of immunocytochemistry with various antibodies to hydra neuropeptides. Our goal is to describe
the hydra nerve net both qualitatively and quantitatively. The present chemical anatomy results indicate (1) differences in
peptide expression between ganglion cells and sensory cells, (2) large differences in neuropeptide expression between ectodermal
nerve cells and endodermal nerve cells, and (3) the usefulness of quantitative chemical anatomy to analyze the entire nervous
system of hydra. |
