Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are located on the postsynaptic membranes of inhibitory synapses of both vertebrates and insects and contain within their membrane-spanning structure a chloride ion channel. They are found in both vertebrate brains and invertebrate cerebral ganglia (sometimes referred to as brains) as well as in insect muscles. Particular attention has been given to one form of this receptor—the GABA-A receptor—as a target for novel insecticides (Eldefrawi and Eldefrawi 1990). It is found both in insect muscle and vertebrate brain. The remainder of this description will be restricted to this form. [Pg.299]

Results from inhalation studies in animals suggest that hydrogen sulfide may be a developmental neurotoxicant. Neurochemical changes (in particular levels of the neurotransmitters gamma-aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine, and serotonin) and levels of the amino acids aspartate, glutamate, and taurine have been observed in various regions of the brain (Hannah et al. 1989, 1990 Skrajny et al.
