Characterization of the tyraminergic system in the central nervous system of the locust,Locusta migratoria migratoides (original) (raw)

Abstract

Tyramine occurs in the central nervous system (CNS) of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria migratoides. The distribution of tyramine within the CNS does not parallel that of octopamine.
