Abstract

Previous studies have suggested an involvement of catecholamines in the control of several larval behaviors, such as feeding, locomotion, and induction of settling and metamorphosis. In the present study we employed aldehyde-induced, blue-green fluorescence to indicate catecholamines in cells within representatives of two bivalve families, the Pectinidae (Placopecten magellanicus) and the Mytilidae (Mytilus edulis). Larvae were examined at different stages of development before and also shortly after settlement. The general distribution of fluorescent cells was similar in the two species. By midveliger stage, several fluorescent cells and fibers were located along the outer rim of each velar lobe, and a pair of flask-shaped cells was located lateral to the mouth. A single fiber from near the mouth projected to a region beneath the apical tuft. In the pediveliger, the cells by the mouth were joined by an additional two to four fluorescent cells. The developing foot also contained numerous such cells, some of which had processes that penetrated the epithelium on the "sole" and bore ciliated terminals. Fluorescent somata were also located around the edge of the mantle. Centrally projecting fibers appeared to terminate in the pedal and abdominal ganglia, which also contained a few fluorescent somata. After settlement, the velar lobes and resident fluorescent somata disappeared, but fluorescent cells in the foot persisted as this latter organ grew. Fluorescent cells within the developing gill were connected with the abdominal ganglia by means of fibers. Control preparations labeled with antibodies raised against serotonin indicated that the aldehyde-induced fluorescence was not due to the presence of indoleamines. The present study not only confirms previous chromatographic evidence suggesting the presence of catecholamines in the larvae of bivalve molluscs, but also identifies putative neuronal circuits that may control various larval behaviors.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
