The neurosecretory system of the giant garden slug Limax maximus was studied using the alcian blue/alcian yellow (AB/AY) staining technique for neurosecretion. Stainable cells could be identified in the paired cerebral, pleural, parietal, and buccal ganglia, and in the visceral ganglion. The cells occur as single cells or in groups of up to 100, with diameters ranging between 10 and 70 mu m. Axon tracts could only be traced for a small number of cells; neurohemal areas were not conclusively identified. The morphological similarities of the neurosecretory system of L. maximus is compared with that of other investigated stylommatophoran slugs.
利用阿尔辛蓝/阿尔辛黄（AB/AY）神经分泌染色技术，对巨型花园蛞蝓（Limax maximus）的神经分泌系统进行了研究。在成对的脑、胸膜、顶叶和颊神经节以及内脏神经节中，可以识别出可染色的细胞。这些细胞以单个细胞或多达100个细胞的群体形式存在，直径在10至70微米之间。仅能追踪少数细胞的轴突束；未明确识别出神经血器官区域。将巨型花园蛞蝓神经分泌系统的形态学相似性与其他已研究的柄眼目蛞蝓进行了比较。
