ABSTRACTDuring the last decade, new evidence has been produced on the subtle mechanisms by which invertebrate neurosecretory cell activity is regulated. Multiple synaptic and humoral mechanisms regulate the endogenous activity of secretory neurons. Specific cellular interactions and ionic mechanisms have been disclosed, and new insights are now available on the integrative features of invertebrate neurosecretory systems.
