The spiny lobster [Panulirus interruptus] stomatogastric nervous system synthesizes dopamine and octopamine in vitro from exogenous [3H]tyrosine. Each amine accumulates with a specific distribution among 9 separately analyzed regions within the system. Synthesis of other catecholamines was not observed. [3H]Dopamine is found in nerves, ganglia and identified commissural ganglion cell bodies in which catecholamine histofluorescence was demonstrated. The biosynthetic and histochemical data indicate that dopaminergic cells send axons from the commissural ganglia to the stomatogastric ganglion neuropile along the same pathway followed by fibers that activate the pyloric motor network. The hypothesis that dopamine mediates activation of the pyloric system in vivo, as observed in vitro, is supported. [3H]Octopamine accumulates primarily in the commissural and stomatogastric ganglia, where it may modulate neuronal activity, but octopaminergic cells and release sites within the stomatogastric system were not identified.
