[Electrophysiological characteristics of a population of mushroom body neurons in Apis mellifera L. honey bee under conditions of kynurenines deficit].

Abstract excerpt

Neurophysiological characteristics of mushroom body neurons were examined by electrophysiological methods in mutants snow(laranja) and wild-type honey bees. Mutation snow(laranja) causes a drastic decrease in the activity of enzyme tryptophane oxygenase that results in deficiency of all kynurenines. It also modifies bioelectrical properties of neurons in the mushroom bodies. The duration of afterdepolarization in...
