Modulation of Heart Activity in the Terrestrial Slug Limax Maximus by the Feeding Motor Program, Small Cardioactive Peptides and Stimulation of Buccal Neuron B1

Ian G. Welsford, David J. Prior
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1991) 155 (1): 1–19.

Small Cardioactive Peptide B Modulates Limax Feeding Motoneurones

Stephen D. Hess, David J. Prior
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1989) 142 (1): 473–478.

Published: 1 March 1989
... of the terrestrial slug Limax maximus is particularly useful for studies which examine the role of peptides in the expression of feeding, since the feeding motor programme can be reliably elicited by chemical stimulation of the lips ( Gelperin et al . 1978 ) or electrical stimulation of the lip nerves ( Phifer...
