...: Epicatechin causes a decrease in activity of the cerebral giant cell and increases the persistence of long-term memory formed by conditioned taste aversion in Lymnaea , possibly via a GABAergic mechanism. Learning and memory Flavonoid Cerebral giant cell γ-Aminobutyric acid Pond snail...

...Sergey Snigirov; Sergiy Sylantyev ABSTRACT Benzodiazepines, acting through ionotropic receptors of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA A receptors, GABAR), have been shown to modify feeding behaviour and increase appetite in humans and non-human subjects. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms...

...Bernhard Petri; Uwe Homberg; Rudolf Loesel; Monika Stengl SUMMARY Accumulating evidence suggests that the accessory medulla is the location of the circadian pacemaker in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and the cockroach Leucophaea maderae . γ-Aminobutyric acid(GABA) and Mas-allatotropin...

...V. L. Trudeau; O. Kah; J. P. Chang; B. D. Sloley; P. Dubourg; E. J. Fraser; R. E. Peter ABSTRACT Double-labelling studies at the electron microscopic level demonstrated that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-immunoreactive nerve endings are associated with growth-hormone-secreting cells in the proximal...

...Toshiki Nagayama; Hitoshi Aonuma; Hiroki Miyata ABSTRACT Using an antiserum directed against γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to label neurones with GABA-like immunoreactivity, approximately 70 central neurones (68±9; mean ± S.E.M., N =9) were labelled in the terminal abdominal ganglion of the crayfish...

...J. Voipio; M. Pasternack; B. Rydqvist; K. Kaila ABSTRACT The effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on intracellular pH (pHi) was examined in the crayfish stretch-receptor neurone using H + -selective microelectrodes and a two-microelectrode voltage clamp. In the presence of 30 mmol I −1 HCO 3 − (pH...
