[The effect of oxytocin on the identified neurons of the brain in the edible snail Helix pomatia L].

Responses induced by a perfusion by a solution with oxytocin were examined in identified Helix pomatia L. neurons. Depolarizing, hyperpolarizing, and modulatory neuronal responses were observed. The responses under study were supposed to be associated in most of the cases with the system of cyclic nucleotides.
