Abstract
Catecholamines (CAs) are found in the neuropile of the brain, in 3 pairs of longitudinal nerve cords, in the transverse ventral commissure, in anterior ventral and dorsal nerves, in two pharyngeal nerve rings and in 24 neurons in the nervous system of Gyratrix hermaphroditus. The CA distribution pattern is compared with those of other neuroactive substances. Homology of neurons in the family of Polycystididae and in Plathelminthes in general is discussed.
