[Effect of FMRFamide on the electrical and plastic properties of identified Helix pomatia neurons].
Effect of the neuropeptide FMRFamide on two types of nerve cells differing in plastic properties: habituating and non-habituating to rhythmic intracellular stimulation, has been studied. FMRFamide causes a slow developing, continuously growing depolarisation and an increase of input resistance of the most part of habituating cells resulting in inhibition of their habituation to intracellular stimulation. No desensitisation of cells to the action of FMRFamide was observed. The data obtained by using Ca-ionophore, imidazole and caffeine show that the effect of the peptide may be caused by inhibition of Ca-dependent K-conductance and depends on cAMP metabolism. FMRFamide exerts a less pronounced action on non-habituating cells and does not change their plastic properties. Inhibition by FMRFamide of the habituation at the level of electroexcitable membrane may play a significant part in regulation of neuronal plasticity.
