Induction of locomotor behavior in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986
Abstract 1. 1. The locomotor-inducting factor of the giant African snail, Achatina fulica , was examined. 2. 2. Snails showed nocturnal circadian behavior in relative humidity at least over 50%. Although the rhythmicity was independent of light and darkness, it was disturbed easily by hydration, and hydrated snails continued to locomote ...

Effects of synthetic peptides on giant neurons identified in the ganglia of an African giant snail (Achatina fulica Férussac)—III

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1987
Thirteen synthetic biologically-active peptides, which were classified into the peptides proposed as neurotransmitters in mammals and invertebrates and neural venom peptides, were investigated for their effects on the following six identifiable giant neurons of an African giant snail (Achatina fulica Férussac): RAPN (right anterior pallial neuron), INN

Pharmacological effects of the giant African snail Achatina fulica.

Tropical and geographical medicine, 1980
The body fluid and tissue extract of the foot of Achatina fulica, the edible giant African snail, were investigated and quantified for pharmacological effects. Both reduced spontaneous locomotor activity in mice, protected them from death from amphetamine induced toxicity, prolonged hexobarbitone sleeping time and caused a depletion of catecholamines ...
