The brain of the millipede, Archispirostreptus syriacus , was studied for its neurosecretory cells. Using standard cytochemical techniques, 2 types of neurosecretory cells could be identified. One of these cells could also be identified with the EM. In addition, three different cells were also observed in the EM and contained secretory granules of various sizes. Altogether, five neurosecretory cell types have been observed in the cerebral mass of this millipede.
