Changes in RNA, proteins, total free amino acid, ammonia and urea levels were measured in the cerebral, pleuropedal and visceral ganglia of normally active and nine months aestivated snails. RNA, proteins and total free amino acid levels increased on aestivation. Ammonia level showed a decrease on aestivation whereas the level of urea increased in the pleuropedal and visceral ganglia. However, a decrease in urea contents of cerebral ganglion was recorded on aestivation. © 1973 Indian Academy of Sciences
