FMRFamide immunoreactivity is generally occurring in the nervous systems of coelenterates

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abundant FMRFamide immunoreactivity has been found in the nervous systems of all hydrozoan, anthozoan, scyphozoan and ctenophoran species that were looked upon. This general and abundant occurrence shows that FMRFamide-like material must play a crucial role in the functioning of primitive nervous systems.
