Zusammenfassung

γ-Aminobuttersäure (GABA) vermindert die Impulsfrequenz der spontan-aktiven Nervenzellen beim Insekt. Wirksame Konzentrationen betragen 0,1–25 · 10−4 M. Ein unerwartetes Ergebnis war die Beobachtung, dass nach Applikation von GABA eine Erhöhung der Impulsfrequenz vor der Verminderung stattfindet.
