Complex avoidance behavior and its neurochemical regulation in the land snail Cepea numerals

Dyakonova, V. E. ; Elofsson, Rolf LU ; Carlberg, M and Sakharov, D A (1995) In General Pharamacology 26. p.773-777
Abstract
.
1. In hot plate experiments, the pulmonate land snail Cepaea nemoralis displays a biphasic passive/active avoidance behaviour composed of retraction and subsequent searching mediated by antagonistic muscular systems. The switch, between the behaviours, is under neuronal control.
2.
2. Leu- and met-enkephalin, as well as FMRFamide-antiserum, attenuated the retraction response and potentiated the searching behaviour. Opposite effects were achieved by injection of antisera to the enkephalins.
3.
3. Both retraction and searching behaviours were potentiated by 5-HT. Methysergide antagonized the effects of the enkephalins on the searching behaviour.
