Abstract
A reversible decrease in the rate and depth of the extinction of the reactions of the cholinoreceptive membrane to repeated iontophoretic applications of acetylcholine to the soma by a number of calmodulin blockers way demonstrated in identified RPa3 and LPa3 neurons in the edible snail using the method of recording transmembrane ionic currents: R 24571 (20–50 μmoles/liter), trifluoperazine (50–200 μmoles/liter), chlorpromazine (20–60 μnoles/liter), and prenylamine lactate (30–400 μmoles/liter). The results obtained attest to the positive regulation of short-term plasticity of the cholinoreceptors of the neurons in question by calmodulin.
