Abstract
Exogenous compounds known as neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, histamine and serotonin and their antagonists d-tubocurarine, muscarine, yohimbine, tavegyl and inmecarb were tested on unicellular diatom algae Ulnaria ulna, where they demonstrated signaling and regulatory functions. The most primitive single-cellular organisms like diatoms exhibit a marked sensitivity to neurotransmitters and their antagonists, indicating a possible reception mechanism, similar to those observed in mammals.
