Abstract

The study investigated the effect of GABA in various concentrations and D-GB-115 at a concentration of 10-7 M on the behavior of Paramecium caudatum. It was shown that GABA increases motor activity and changes the movement strategy of these protozoans, and the dose-effect relationship is domed, which can be explained by the presence of two types of GABA receptors in the outer membrane of paramecia: GABA-A and GABA-B. The active concentrations of GABA range from 10-3 to 10-13 M. The effect of pharmacological agents interacting with the GABA system on the behavior of ciliates (nembutal and D-GB-115) was studied.
