Abstract
CHOLINERGIC transmission has been demonstrated in ganglia of some gastropod molluscs1,2. The large neurones of gastropods are very suitable for investigation by the microelectrode technique, and use of this method to compare the activity of cholinergic drugs of different chemical structure can reveal new facts about the occurrence and arrangement of active groups on the cholino-receptive membrane.
