THE EFFECTS OF GABA AND PICROTOXIN ON THE RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDITORY INTERNEURON AN2 IN BUSHCRICKET Gampsocleis gratiosa
GABA和苦毒素等药物对螽斯听觉中间神经元AN2声反应特征的影响

Intracellular electrophysiological technique was used to detect the effects of GABA and its antagonist picrotoxin, and also d-tubocurarine on spike discharge characteristics of the auditory interneuron AN2 in the bushcricket Gampocleis gratiosa. The results show that GABA and d-tubocurarine inhibit spike discharge of AN2, While picrotoxin increases the spike discharge of the AN2 neuron, and even changes its discharge pattern from "Quasi-tonic" to "tonic".
