Abstract
Serotonin occurs in a variety of non-nervous tissues in lower vertebrates and in invertebrates. It also appears to be present in the nervous system of molluscs and crustaceans. . In the mollusc Venus mercenaria, serotonin has a cardio-excitor action which can be partly blocked by DHE, which itself exerts a cardio-excitor action. In very low concentrations, LSD mimics the effects of serotonin on the heart of Venus mercenaria. . In crustaceans, e.g. Cancer borealis, serotonin exerts a cardio-regulatory action. . In molluscs, e.g. Mytilus, serotonin relaxes certain non-cardiac muscle and appears to be a product of some inhibitor nerves.
