title: [Effect of adrenochrome on electrical characteristics of Helix pomatia mollusk neurons].
abstract: Helix pomatia neurons were used as test-objects in the study of adrenochrome effect on nerve tissue by the microelectrode technique and voltage clamp. The action of adrenochrome consists in slow de- and hyperpolarization of the neuronal membrane and in the appearance of periodic short-term shifts in the membrane potential. The lowering of the action potential amplitude is as consequence of the decreased maximal conduction of inward current ionic channels.
