title: [Regulation of the plastic properties of an electro-excitable neuronal membrane by serotonin].
abstract: The action of serotonin on plastic properties of electroexcitable membrane was studied in Helix lucorum parietal ganglia on neurones of two types: habituating (HC) and nonhabituating (NHC) to rhythmic intracellular stimulation by impulses of depolarizing current. Serotonin produced an effect of facilitation on HC (increase of responses to stimulation against the background of depolarization and rise of input resistance of the cell). Besides, serotonin completely blocked the ability of these cells to habituate to rhythmic stimulation. The obtained data testify that such action of serotonin may be based on suppression by it of C-dependent K-conductivity. Serotonin suppresses responses of NHC to stimulation and contributes to their habituation to rhythmic stimulation. Such action is due to serotonin suppression of Ca-conductivity, and, consequently, to elimination of the mechanism of action potential generation.
