Abstract
The changes in spike activity of single neurons of the compact part of the substantia nigra, evoked by nucleus caudatus stimulation under conditions of long-term registration of the single and multiple, isolated and combined actions of GABA, GABA-amide, glutamine, and ethanolamine-O-sulfate (EOS) were studied in albino rats. Inhibition of poststimulus activity under GABA action was recorded and the inhibitory effect of GABA-amide was revealed. Primary excitatory and subsequent inhibitory effects of glutamine in combination with EOS were shown. The subsequent administration of bacterial melanin, synthesized by a mutant culture of Bacillus thuringiensis (BT-M) evoked a clear-cut and prolonged excitatory reaction during all the combined actions of GABA, GABA-amide, glutamine, and EOS. Preliminary administration of BT-M abolished the inhibitory poststimulus effects of GABA, GABA-amide, and EOS, as well as glutamine-induced excitation.
