Effect of penicillin on the increase in membrane conductance induced by γ‐aminobutyric acid at the crab neuromuscular junction
The effects of penicillin and picrotoxin on the increase in membrane conductance produced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the hermit crab neuromuscular junction were investigated. Penicillin failed to block the effects of GABA, while picrotoxin proved to be a potent antagonist.
