NEURAL CONTROL. “Accumulating evidence now indicates clearly that shell growth and patterning are under neural control and that shell growth and pigmentation is a neurosecretory phenomenon. Most of this evidence has been gained by detailed studies of the mantle, a tongue-like protrusion of the mollusk that wraps around the edge of the shell and deposits new shell material and pigment at the shell’s growing edge.”
