OBJECTIVES: Subjecting the marine bivalve Mytilus edulis to an immediate temperature change has been shown to rapidly alter the animals' ganglionic monoamine levels, as well as its ciliary activity. Recently, we extended this observation to include the organism's ganglionic mu opiate receptor and morphine levels. In the past, we demonst.....
