Abstract
A detailed account is given of a number of neurons in the locust central nervous system that react with antibody raised to serotonin‐albumin complex. The antibody was applied to a series of frozen sections of locust ganglia and visualized by using the peroxidase immunohistochemical procedure. The neurons described include certain afferents and their related neuropiles, a small number of efferents and several systems of interneurons, some of which are segmentally repeated, some run from the brain through the whole nerve cord, while others are confined to the brain. It has been possible to identify many of the neurons from previous descriptions obtained from cobalt, Golgi, and osmium ethyl gallate methods.Keywords
