Abstract

Several antisera specific to the neuropeptides of vertebrates were applied to sections of the planarian Dugesia lugubris. In this exploratory study, three of the antisera, those directed against SRIF, the neurophysines, and ACTH 17–39, made it possible to reveal nerve cells and their processes specifically, both in cerebral ganglions and in nerve trunks. The phylogenetic importance of this detection is pointed out.
