Neuroendocrine Regulation of Egg Laying in Aplysia californica

S. ARCH
Biology Department, Reed College Portland, Oregon 97202

Two clusters of neurons, the bag cells, associated with the central nervous system of Aplysia californica play an essential role in the induction of egg laying by the animal. Studies concerned with the morphology, electrophysiology, biochemistry, and function of these cells are reviewed and discussed. The unusually favorable characteristics of this preparation suit it for development as a model neuroendocrine effector system.
