Abstract

Rhythmic circadian variations in the spontaneous electrical activity of the frontal ganglion (FG) of the cockroach,Periplaneta americana, have been shown, and the neurotransmitter (NT) involved in this activity has been identified as serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). During the 24-h day, the diurnal variations in the electrical activity and the levels of 5-HT and its immediate metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) were maximal at 24.00 h and minimal at 12.00 h.
