...Martha Skerrett; Amy Peaire; Patricia Quigley; A. Joffre Mercierf ABSTRACT The present study examined the effects of two recently identified neuropeptides on crayfish hearts and on neuromuscular junctions of the crayfish deep abdominal extensor muscles. The two peptides, referred to as NF 1 (Asn...
