GABA

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    GABA metabolism is crucial for long-term survival of anoxia in annual killifish embryos
    Daniel E. Zajic, Jason E. Podrabsky
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb229716 doi: 10.1242/jeb.229716 Published 14 October 2020

    Summary: Anoxic annual killifish embryos produce millimolar quantities of GABA. Interruptions in GABA metabolism decrease anoxia tolerance. We propose that GABA supports anoxia tolerance as a neurotransmitter and an anti-oxidant.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Distinctive mechanisms underlie the emission of social electric signals of submission in Gymnotus omarorum
    Virginia Comas, Kim Langevin, Ana Silva, Michel Borde
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb195354 doi: 10.1242/jeb.195354 Published 11 June 2019

    Summary: The modulation of the excitability of neurons of the electromotor command nucleus emerges as a novel cellular mechanism expanding the repertoire of electric communication signals in freshwater weakly electric fish.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Taurine activates glycine and GABAA receptor currents in anoxia-tolerant painted turtle pyramidal neurons
    Ashley R. Miles, Peter J. Hawrysh, Nariman Hossein-Javaheri, Leslie T. Buck
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb181529 doi: 10.1242/jeb.181529 Published 5 November 2018

    Summary: Taurine increases naturally in anoxic painted turtle brain and can activate both GABA and glycine receptors, which probably contributes to the mechanism of anoxia tolerance.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Physiological responses of ionotropic histamine receptors, PxHCLA and PxHCLB, to neurotransmitter candidates in a butterfly, Papilio xuthus
    Hiroshi D. Akashi, Pei-Ju Chen, Tokiho Akiyama, Yohey Terai, Motohiro Wakakuwa, Yasunori Takayama, Makoto Tominaga, Kentaro Arikawa
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb183129 doi: 10.1242/jeb.183129 Published 29 October 2018

    Summary: Identification and characterization of two histamine-gated chloride channels in the visual system of Papilio; both channels respond to histamine as well as to GABA.

  • REVIEW
    Acid–base physiology, neurobiology and behaviour in relation to CO2-induced ocean acidification
    Martin Tresguerres, Trevor J. Hamilton
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2136-2148; doi: 10.1242/jeb.144113

    Summary: This article reviews basic acid–base regulatory and neurobiology mechanisms relevant for behavioural alteration in fish exposed to CO2-induced seawater acidification, and identifies areas for future research.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mechanistic underpinnings of dehydration stress in the American dog tick revealed through RNA-Seq and metabolomics
    Andrew J. Rosendale, Lindsey E. Romick-Rosendale, Miki Watanabe, Megan E. Dunlevy, Joshua B. Benoit
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1808-1819; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137315

    Highlighted Article: Ticks employ a suite of molecular and biochemical mechanisms to survive dehydration stress; strategies include limiting damage and maximizing recovery when conditions allow.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Serotonin, but not dopamine, controls the stress response and anxiety-like behavior in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii
    Pascal Fossat, Julien Bacqué-Cazenave, Philippe De Deurwaerdère, Daniel Cattaert, Jean-Paul Delbecque
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2745-2752; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120550

    Summary: After stress, crayfish brain 5-HT levels increase, which induces anxiety-like behavior (ALB) but the level of dopamine does not change, and in contrast to 5-HT, injection of dopamine does not trigger a metabolic response or ALB.
