[Comparative investigation of influence of injections of chlorpromazine and 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine on locomotion, defensive reactions of snall helix lucorum and excitability of command neurons in long-term sensitization].

Comparative analysis of the action of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and neurotoxin 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine (5,6-DHT) on defensive reactions and locomotion of grape snail and elaboration of long-term sensitization (LTS), was carried out. Long-term (chronic) injection of chlorpromazine led to significant increasing of a pneumostome closing time and to changing of motor behaviour towards decrease of the velocity of the locomotion. Daily injections of 5,6-DHT in small doses within a week were accompanied by the gradual decrease of the velocity of snails locomotion, which was kept for a week. Similar effect was observed in injection of neurotoxin (30 mgs/kg). Injections of CPZ prevents elaboration of LTS, as well as injections of 5,6-DHT. After the action of CPZ, LTS, LTS followed by CPZ, and also during elaboration of LTS after injection of CPZ, the velocity of locomotion directly depended on the length of leg. During elaboration of LTS after injection of 5,6-DHT, such dependency is not retained. Electrophysiological study revealed that chronic injections of CPZ led to depolarizing shift of membrane potential and decrease of the threshold of action potential generation in command neurons as after injection of neurotoxin 5,6-DHT. Therefore, the action of neuroleptic drug CPZ on the defensive behaviour, locomotion of grape snail and electrical characteristics of identifying neurons is comparable with the action of toxic analogue of serotonin.

[Locomotor reactions and excitability of neurons during the blockade of dopamine by haloperidol in vertebrate and invertebrate animals].

Two groups of rats with different level of motor activities: high- and low-active animals, were distinguished. The blockade of dopamine receptors by haloperidol led to depression of locomotor activity in both groups of rats; in grape snails, haloperidol caused a decrease of the velocity of locomotor responses. In was found that within 5 minutes of intravenous injection of haloperidol the excitability of spinal centers of rats decreased; but in 30 minutes in started restoring. Chronic application of the preparation depressed the effect of posttetanic potentiation of H-response in gastrocnemius muscle of spinal rats. In command neurons of grape snail, chronic injections of haloperidol causes a significant hyperpolarization shift of membrane potential and an increase of threshold of the generation of action potential. It was shown that the selective pharmacological inhibition of dopaminergic system of the brain led to a decrease of excitability in some determined neurons of the snail and spinal motor centers of rats, as well as inhibited the locomotor responses both in vertebrate and in invertebrate animals.

[Effect of 6-hydroxydopamine on the electrical characteristics of snail neurons in long-term sensitization].

Studies of the influence of neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine selectively destroying the catecholamine terminals on long-term sensitization, and the role of dopamine in manifestation of characteristics of a membrane of identified neurons during elaboration of plasticity, were fulfilled. Injection of saline was used as the control. It is shown that preliminary injection of 6-hydroxydopamine reduces duration of long-term sensitization, but does not block it completely. It was shown that injection of 6-hydroxydopamine prevents diminishing of membrane and threshold potentials in withdrawal interneurons during formation of long-term sensitization. The experiments demonstrate that shift of electrical characteristics of withdrawal interneurons caused by injection of neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine to both naive snails and sensitized snails, statys during at least 10 days.

[Electrophysiological study of 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine effect on defensive reflex conditioning in the snail].

The role of serotonin in expression of membrane properties of identified neurons was studied during defensive reflex conditioning using the neurotoxic analogue of serotonin 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine (5,6-DHT). The defensive reflex conditioning in snails was destroyed on the second day after second injection of 5,6-DHT. Through the 1st weeks after second injection of 5,6-DHT the snails were learned but worse than snails after injection of saline solution. This result shows the recovery of snail's learning ability within 2 weeks after the second injection of 5,6-DHT. It was found that injection of 5,6-DHT prevented the decrease of membrane and threshold potentials of command neurons during defensive reflex conditioning as compared with the snails injected with 5,6-DHT without learning.

[Electrophysiological and neurochemical study of long-term sensitization in the snail].

The long-term sensitization of avoidance reflex was produced in snail Helix pomatia, which led to the remarkable increase in the pneumostome closures period. The formation of long-term sensitization is also accompanied by increase in excitability of command neurons of this reflex. One of the possible mechanisms of this phenomenon is the depolarization of these cells. The quantitative redistribution of water-soluble proteins with relative mobility 0.54 0.42 0.40 was also observed in the identified neurons, both included in the avoidance reflex (command neurons) and non-included (bursting neurons, nerve cells of pool D). The protein with the relative mobility of 0.75 was unique for the nerve cells of neurosecretory pool D in sensitized snails, and was never found in control animals.

[The action of the neurotoxins 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine and p-chlorophenylalanine on the electrical activity parameters of the command neurons during long-term sensitization and learning in the snail].

The influence of 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine (5,6-DHT), which selectively destroyed serotonin terminals, and p-chlorphenylalanine, which inhibited serotonin synthesis, was studied on the long-term sensitization (LTS) in a snail. The membrane mechanisms were analyzed by measuring electrical characteristics of command neurons of defensive behavior LPa3, RPa3, LPa2, and RPa2. Snails injected with saline served as an active control. It was shown that the injected drugs inhibited the LTS in certain concentrations. A significant increase was observed in the membrane potential and the threshold of the action potential generation in the command neurons after 5,6-DHT injection in the doses of 20 and 30 mg/kg (in comparison with the active control). Sensitization of snails injected with saline solution led to the LTS and decrease in the membrane and threshold potentials of the command neurons. After the LTS, changes in membrane and threshold potentials in snails injected with 5,6-DHT were negligible in comparison with those injected with 5,6-DHT but without the LTS. Neither the LTS nor subsequent learning resulted in a further decrease in membrane and threshold potentials. Thus, the neurotoxin injection led to an increase in excitability of command neurons and their depolarization, and the LDS did not elicit further excitability increase. Since the shifts of the threshold and membrane potentials were the same, it was concluded that the increase in membrane excitability was induced by the depolarizing shift of the membrane potential.

[The duration of the storage of the electrical characteristics of command neurons in the acquisition of long-term sensitization in the snail].

The retention of the long-term sensitization (LTS) of defensive reflex and dynamics of change in electric characteristics (membrane potential (Vm) and action potential generation threshold (Vt)) of command neurons of defensive reflex was studied in a snail during behavioral tests. The membrane mechanisms were analyzed by measuring electrical characteristics of the LPa3, RPa3, LPa2, and RPa2 command neurons on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, and 14th days after the LTS formation and 1 month later. The membrane potential and threshold potential in sensitized snails (-54.1 +/- 2.0 and 24.5 +/- 1.4 microV, respectively) were significantly (p < 0.001) decreased in comparison with the control animals (-60.9 +/- 0.8 and 19.9 +/- 0.6 microV respectively). These changes retained within 14 days after the LTS formation. The results suggest the long-term retention of the increased excitability of command neurons. A month after the LTS formation, the duration of the defensive reflex returned to the initial level and the electric characteristics of command neurons did not significantly differ from the control (-61.1 +/- 2.0 and 19.3 +/- 1.4 microV, respectively).

[Duration of changes in electrical characteristics of command neurons after defensive conditioning in snails].

Electrical characteristics of snail command neurons were studied during and after defensive conditioning. Tapping on the shell was used as a conditioned stimulus. A light air blow into the lung cavity orifice (pneumostome) was used as an unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned defensive reflex is known to be retained for 40 days. We have shown earlier the decrease in membrane and threshold potentials of command neurons after defensive conditioning (Gainutdinov et al., 1996). In these experiments it has been found that the decreased level of membrane and threshold potentials are maintained during 40 days after defensive reflex conditioning.

[The dynamics of the defensive and feeding conditioned reactions of the edible snail during long-term sensitization].

During the long-term sensitization in a snail there occurs an enhancement of a defensive reaction and a significant decrease of food intake. Defensive conditioning is facilitated and feeding conditioning deteriorated. The results give evidence that a formation of the state of the long-term sensitization is accompanied by a generation of a dominant defense focus.

[Protein synthesis-dependent reactivation of environmental conditioned reflex in terrestrial snails].

We investigated influence of anisomycine injection on reconsolidation of contextual memory after development of environmental conditioned reflex in terrestrial snail Helix. Testing the amplitude of behavioral reactions (tentacle withdrawal) in response to standard tactile stimulation of the skin in two contexts: a) when the snail was fixed by the shell and was moving on the surface of the ball floating in water, or b) was moving on the flat surface of glass terrarium, has shown no difference in response amplitudes. After a session of electric shocks (5 days) in one context only (ball) the associative learning was clearly observed as the significant difference of response amplitudes in two contexts. On the other day following testing was performed a session of "reminding", immediately after which the snails were injected by anisomycine (control snails were injected by saline solution). Testing has shown that injection of anisomycine led to impairment of the context conditioning. Results suggest that the mechanisms of consolidation of new memory and memory reconsolidation after retrieval are not identical.
