Fig. 6. Combined serotonin levels in various areas in the brains of juvenile
lobsters. The levels of serotonin in all the accessory lobes (ALs; black),
olfactory lobes (OLs; dark gray) and brain remainders (light gray) are added
together for each of the six time points (data from
Fig. 5AC). As in the
whole-brain studies (Fig. 3),
the pre-dusk peak is the most pronounced feature. Comparisons of the changes
in serotonin content in individual brain areas at the pre-dusk peak (11:00 h
compared with 15:00 h) show that serotonin levels in the ALs rise by 18%, the
OLs by 123% and the brain remainder by 197% during this period.
