Effects of antibody against serotonin-modulated protein SMP-69 on defence behavior command neurons L-RP11 were studied in semi-intact preparation of snail Helix lucorum. An increase in membrane excitability as well as selective facilitation of neural responses evoked with chemical sensory stimulation of the snail head (0.25-0.5% quinine solution) were determined 1-1.5 hours after antibody application to the neurons. The antibody did not change neural responses evoked with tactile stimulation of the snail head. These effects were similar to those found in L-RP11 neurons after serotonin or cAMP applications as well as after nociceptive sensitization of the snail. It was suggested that protein homologically related the SMP-69 in mammalians was involved in mechanisms of excitability as well as long-term specific plasticity regulation of L-RP11 neurons synaptic inputs from the head chemoreceptors in snail Helix lucorum.

D008839 Microelectrodes Electrodes with an extremely small tip, used in a voltage clamp or other apparatus to stimulate or record bioelectric potentials of single cells intracellularly or extracellularly.

D009419 Nerve Tissue Proteins Proteins, Nerve Tissue,Tissue Proteins, Nerve
D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.

D011803 Quinine An alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug, and is the active ingredient in extracts of the cinchona that have been used for that purpose since before 1633. Quinine is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic and has been used in common cold preparations for that purpose. It was used commonly and as a bitter and flavoring agent, and is still useful for the treatment of babesiosis. Quinine is also useful in some muscular disorders, especially nocturnal leg cramps and myotonia congenita, because of its direct effects on muscle membrane and sodium channels. The mechanisms of its antimalarial effects are not well understood.
